Get vs. Post

The document contains an HTML form that collects a user's name and email using input fields and submits via POST to a PHP script. The PHP script echoes the submitted name and email using $_POST to retrieve the form data, welcoming the user. GET and POST both create arrays of key/value pairs from form data that are accessible as the $_GET and $_POST superglobals, with GET via URL parameters and POST via HTTP.

GET vs. POST


Both GET and POST create an array (e.g. array( key => value, key2 => value2, key3 =>
value3, ...)). This array holds key/value pairs, where keys are the names of the form controls and
values are the input data from the user.
Both GET and POST are treated as $_GET and $_POST. These are superglobals, which means
that they are always accessible.
$_GET is an array of variables passed to the current script via the URL parameters.
$_POST is an array of variables passed to the current script via the HTTP POST method.
