I am so newbie to the php , consider a dummy. I have this doubt always. How can I differentiate a GET and POST when I see the source code? I just know this GET pass plain url while POST wont. so POST is more secure than GET. besides this, how can I understand seeing the php code whether its code line is using GET or POST method?
Any help??

the method of the form will tell you weather it is sending data via GET or POST

POST data is accessed via the $_POST associative array, same goes for $_GET;
Code: Select all
<?php
// data from POST
$data = $_POST['data'];
// data from GET
$gData = $_GET['gData'];
?>
