$_GET contains vars passed on query stringe es www.PHP.com?key=value is accessibile with $_GET[key] ... $_POST store value passed at the script in POST method from HTML form accesible with $_POST[tagName]

Answer 3

It's all about the security concerned with the way they send data to server..
Using GET method your data will be send along with the URL ,& you can see that data while with POST method your data will be sent hidden i.e you can't see it & you can only access it with the tag name ex. $_POST[tag]..
