The difference between GET and POST
I was hunting the web for the difference between HTML form submission methods
GET and POST.This is what my understanding is.:)
The Basic Difference
GET should be used if and only if there are no side effects.Many database searches have no visible side-effects and make ideal applications of query forms.The GET method is designed for getting information (a document, a chart, or the results from a database query).
