chibineku Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I am brand new to PHP, but I know the basics of POST and GET methods. What I want to know is: is there any way to combine the secure, long string transmission of POST data with the bookmarking potential of GET data? It will probably be a moot example, because I guess in the sort of instances in which someone is sending a form they are probably going to be signed in to a site and therefore cookie or prior GET data could be used to create bookmarkable pages, but I like to know these things.

justsomeguy Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 The only time you really need to use post is when you're submitting a form, you typically don't want to bookmark a page shows up after submitting a form. You typically use the get parameters to tell the application what to do, which you can bookmark, and post is used to give it the data to work with. I just haven't really found a reason where someone would want to bookmark the results of a form, they would sooner bookmark the form itself.
