⟩ What is the difference between GET and POST?

☛ GET displays the submitted data as part of the URL, during POST this information is not shown as it's encoded in the request.

☛ GET can handle a maximum of 2048 characters, POST has no such restrictions.

☛ GET allows only ASCII data, POST has no restrictions, binary data are also allowed.

☛ Normally GET is used to retrieve data while POST to insert and update.

Understanding the fundamentals of the HTTP protocol is very important to have a good start as a PHP developer, and the differences between GET and POST are an essential part of it.
