Once most important difference is when you are sending the form with GET method. It displays name/value pair used in the form at the address bar of the browser preceded by url Whereas if you send the form with POST method then user can not see that information and Secondly When you want to send short or small data & Less Sensitive Data then you can use GET Method. But for long data & Sensitive Data sending, say more then 100 character you can use POST method.

RE: POST and GET Methods

Both are same while performing the action but using POST security is there.
Because using GET method in the action form field values send along with URL so at the time of sending password problem will occur means password also will shown in the URL.
Using of POST there is no problem.

RE: POST and GET Methods

POST method using for the moving into another pages means we are using two pages.
But GET methods using for the within the page (exp pagination & url calling)
