spiderwell Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 POST is the method most used in forms, and hides the sent information GET is the method using querystrings, and is visible in the address bar Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/234078-difference-between-get-and-post-method/#findComment-1203111 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Also, there is usually a limit to how much data can be sent using GET. Ken Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/234078-difference-between-get-and-post-method/#findComment-1203118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbraCadaver Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Also, GET, as the name implies is for retrieval. POST is for actions that have consequences: add, update, delete, send email, etc...

But, those conventions are not enforced in any browser or code that I know of. You can use GET to set data to be updated, etc and it will work as long as you code your script to use the data that way.

Ken Because browsers have no idea what will happen when the data is sent to the server. Developers should develop to the HTTP spec: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html Also, most (if not all) browser will give a warning if you attempt to resubmit a form but not a get link.

Developers should develop with semantics in mind anyway. They're the basis for RESTful systems.
