Hiding url on address function

Hello Neil,

 

 

$_POST variable is predefined and generally used to get values from a form sent with method="post”. Information which sent with a form using the POST method is normally invisible to others. With this you can send any amount of information. However, because the variables are invisible in the URL, you will find it difficult to bookmark the page.

 

Thank you.

Hiding url on address function

 

Hi there Neil,

 

Between $_GET and $_POST, with the $_POST Variable the information sent with a form invisible or not shown in the URL but it exposes just as much information as a $_GET variable in the actual network communication between the client and server. If you need to pass information that is sensitive, your first line of defense would be to pass it using HTTPS.

 

Hope this answers your question.

 

Thanks
