PHP GET AND POST

Get and Post Methods in PHP


• PHP provides two methods through which a client
(browser) can send information to the server. These
methods are given below, and discussed in detail:

• GET method
• POST method
Get and Post Methods in PHP(contd.)
• Get and Post methods are the HTTP request methods
used inside the <form> tag to send form data to the
server.

• HTTP protocol enables the communication between the


client and the server where a browser can be the client,
and an application running on a computer system that
hosts your website can be the server.
GET
• The GET method is used to submit the HTML form data.
This data is collected by the predefined $_GET
variable for processing.

• The information sent from an HTML form using the GET


method is visible to everyone in the browser's address
bar, which means that all the variable names and their
values will be displayed in the URL. Therefore, the get
method is not secured to send sensitive information.
POST
• The POST method is also used to submit the HTML form
data. But the data submitted by this method is collected
by the predefined superglobal variable $_POST instead of
$_GET.

• Unlike the GET method, it does not have a limit on the


amount of information to be sent. The information sent
from an HTML form using the POST method is not visible
to anyone.
$_REQUEST variable
• The $_REQUEST variable is a superglobal variable,
which can hold the content of both $_GET and $_POST
variable.

• In other words, the PHP $_REQUEST variable is used to


collect the form data sent by either GET or POST
methods.
