Hi,Use GET when your script is getting information to display to the user.
I have to decide which form-method I should use (GET or POST). I found
the following recomendation:
If the service associated with the processing of a form has side
effects (for example, modification of a database or subscription to a
service), the method should be POST. (http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
forms/methods.html).
However, later I did not find any convinced arguments why it should
help (it can be that I just did not understand something).
So, I have decided not to go into the details of GET and POST methods
and just use POST. Is here any significant difference between GET and
POST which I should worry about (like security issues or something
else)? Or it is just question of convenience?
e.g. A product display get for product id=1, you want to GET the information.
Use POST when you are posting information back to the script to be manipulated
in some fashion.
e.g. Submitting a form with an email for subscription to a newsletter. You
want to POST the information to the script to be handled by a database of
some sort.
