what is the difference between GET,POST and REQUEST in php



what is the difference between GET,POST and REQUEST in php..

Answer / mishra ashutosh

GET
data that is send can be seen in the address bar.so not secure.It has a data size limit.
POST
data is not visible to user, and has more size limit then GET

Both GET and POST can be used as method in form tag.
but REQUEST can't be used there.
REQUEST is generally used where we are not sure about the method whether the data are coming thru POST or GET method.
it is used to get the from data only.


Feel free to ask anything regaring php,mysql,js.
