The Difference Between Form Methods

The Method determines how data should be sent to the server. The GET method sends data as part of the Query String portion of the URL. The Query String portion of the URL is everything that comes after the question mark “?” in the URL. The POST method attaches data as a file attachment to the HTTP request. This attachment is not visible to typical website users.
