What are the advantages of using $_POST over $_GET for form submissions?

Using $_POST for form submissions offers several advantages over $_GET:

  • Data Security: Data sent via $_POST is not exposed in the URL, making it more secure for sensitive information.
  • Data Size Limit: $_POST does not have size limits on the amount of data sent, unlike $_GET which can be limited by URL length.
  • Data Integrity: With $_POST, you avoid URL encoding issues that can occur with $_GET.
  • Form Action: $_POST is suitable for actions that change server state, such as submitting forms that update databases.
