On the server side, the main difference between GET and POST is where the submitted is stored. The $_GET array stores data submitted by the GET method. The $_POST array stores data submitted by the POST method.
On the browser side, the difference is that data submitted by the GET method will be displayed in the browser’s address field. Data submitted by the POST method will not be displayed anywhere on the browser.
GET method is mostly used for submitting a small amount and less sensitive data. POST method is mostly used for submitting a large amount or sensitive data.

GET:
1. URL Changes to the submitted script name, appended with a list
of each variable with the value.
POST:
1. This is the best way of submitting forms to the web server.

Difference between the method GET and POST is primarily defined by the shape data coding. Official recommendations say that GET must be used if and only if the form processing is idempotent. Which usually means a form of pure motion.

As per functionality both GET and POST methods were same.Difference is GET method will be showing the information information to the users.But in the case of POST method information will not be shown to the user.

The data passed using the GET method would be visible to the user of the website in the browser address bar but when we pass the information using the POST method the data is not visible to the user directly.

Also in GET method characters were restricted only to 256 characters.But in the case of POST method characters were not restricted.

Using Get method is not secure, your informations will be appeared in the url address. Using Post method is much secure it will not appear in the url address.

In GET method data gets transferred to the processing page in name value pairs through URL, so it is exposed and can be easily traced by visiting history pages of the browser. So any login details with password should never be posted by using GET method.
