Wrong. $_GET is used to request data FROM the server, while $_POST is used to send data TO the server.


No, Tony. $_GET is used to fetch information from the query string. This can be from several sources - including <form action=get...>. But $_GET is always used on the server, and the data always comes from the browser.
