when the input in the form are submitted the data have to go reach to the server... it's can be done by 2 methods 1) Get 2) Post Get - when the method is set to 'get' the data submitted is directly connected to url (ie. at the end of the url) it is used when data does not contain any sensitive things Post - when the method is set to 'post' the data submitted is sent like packets encrypted... Post is used when data contains sensitive things like passwords etc..

GET -get is a html method of form submission its doesn't secures users details but it send details to the server POST-is a more secure method cause it assures safety of users details
