Web Design and Development Lesson 10

10.1 HTML FORM Requests


The most used HTTP request types are GET and POST, but there are other types in their
technical specification, such as PUT, HEAD, DELETE, PATCH and OPTIONS. We will
focus only on the two most common.
• The GET Method
• The POST Method
Before the browser sends the information, it encodes it using a scheme called URL
encoding. In this scheme, name/value pairs are joined with equal signs and different
pairs are separated by the ampersand.
name1=value1&name2=value2&name3=value3
Spaces are removed and replaced with the + character and any other nonalphanumeric
characters are replaced with a hexadecimal value. After the information is encoded it is
sent to the server.
10.1.1. GET Method
The GET method sends the encoded user information appended to the page request. The page
and the encoded information are separated by the ? character.
http://www.test.com/index.htm?name1=value1&name2=value2
The GET method produces a long string that appears in your server logs, in the browser's
Location: box.
• The GET method is restricted to send up to 1024 (8 KB, or 8192 bytes ) characters only. in URI
• Never use GET method if you have password or other sensitive information to be sent to the
server.
• GET can't be used to send binary data, like images or word documents, to the server.
• The data sent by GET method can be accessed using QUERY_STRING environment variable.
• The PHP provides $_GET associative array to access all the sent information using GET
method.

10.1.2. POST Method


The POST method transfers information via HTTP headers. The information is encoded as
described in case of GET method and put into a header called QUERY_STRING.
• The POST method does not have any restriction on data size to be sent.
• The POST method can be used to send ASCII as well as binary data.
• The data sent by POST method goes through HTTP header so security depends on HTTP
protocol. By using Secure HTTP (https) you can make sure that your information is secure.
• The PHP provides $_POST associative array to access all the sent information using GET
method.

We will Create two files, index.php and connect.php.
The file index.php will carry the form HTML code, while connect.php connects the
form with the database.
