POST or GET: Which Method to Use?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay so u have a form and a preprocessor(i mean PHP). Now you're wondering what method to use to process the form....

GET or POST
First of all let's see the difference. In GET, the contents of the Form are sent in the url
eg. If you are using a file process.php which accepts the fields name, email, class, etc and does something with them. Then on submitting the form, the browser will open this URL:
http://someurl.com/process.php?name=...ail=someemail& class=XYZ

but in case of post, it sends an intrinsic array, which is not visible to the user(like get is).

So you should use Post when either the data is too complicated...Imagine a 3 line paragraph in your browser url
or you need security....
Why POST is secure?
Obviously because the information is sent intrinsically. However this doesn't mean that it is secure from pro-hackers etc. Its secure compared to GET.....
Another reason is that you don't quite require a Form to be filled up when using get
A simple img tag is enough to send the data
In the previous case, the script can be provoked using
<img src="http://someurl.com/process.php?name=Som ... =someemail& class=XYZ"/>
This will not show any image but will do the job anyways. But in post this is not possible,
The problem with get becomes significant if you have a big thing

Suppose the file sendmessage is used by the user to send message a friend(in a social networking environment)
it works with friendid and messageas parameter(http://somesite.com/sendmessage.php?...120&message=hi)
but now an unscrupulous site puts up an image on its site
<img src="http://somesite.com/sendmessage.php?fri ... You%20bloo dy%20*****%20Get%20Lost>
Theuser while logged on into ur site also visits this site.
He will unintentionally send a message to this user....
so this is where u need post..

Should you always use post....?
No not quite. Depends on you requirement. If the action performed is something that doesn't make much of a difference in the site or user's life,
go on
A profile page will have to use get
[noparse](http://someurl.com/profile.php?user=..)
Otherwise users cannot give out their profile links....
or even a refferal url(http://someurl.com/?ref=idsadas)
which is again given out by people

PHP Search Page

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK This tutorial will show you how to make a search page.

Firstly we make a form. I am going to use this

Code:
<form method="post" action="searchpage.php">
<p>Please enter keyword.</p>
<p>
<input name="word" type="text" size=25 maxlength=25>
</p>
<p>
<input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</p>
</form

This is the form where we will enter the keywords. Now the next step is to make the searchpage.php.

It will look like this

<?php
// connect to db
$db = mysql_connect("localhostt", "username", "pfriendlyword");
mysql_select_db("dbname",$db);

//check something is sent
if ($_POST['word']) {
$word= $_POST["word"];
// search query
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `field` LIKE '%$word%'");
$postword = $_POST['word'];
echo "Search Results for: <strong> $postword </strong>
";
echo"<p> </p>";
echo"<p> </p>";
echo"<p> </p>";
echo"<p> </p>";
//get results
while($get=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{

$date = $get['date'];
$name = $get['name'];
$title= $get['title'];

//show results
echo("<strong>$title</strong> was added on <strong>$date</strong> by <strong>$name</strong>");

echo"<p></p>";
echo"<p></p>";
}
// if nothing is sent
}else {
die ("No search word specified");
}

?>

Online Editor

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

we are starting off with the beginning of the tut with the selector page - drop down menu:

// I have added security so only admin's can use the script

Code:
<?php # Script 13.5 - editor.php
// Editor - Lee Stevens
// Date & Time - 26/04/06 | 22:40

if ($_SESSION['atype'] == "Administrator") {
// 'atype' = Account Type in short.
?>

<form action="editor.php?plugin=editor" method="post">
<select name="editor_file">
<option value="test1.php">Test1</option>
<option value="test2.php">Test2</option>
<option value="test3.php">Test3</option>
<option value="includes/layout.css">Style</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" name="editor" value="Edit"/>
</form>
?>
Ok now we have got the drop down menu with files you would like to edit while online.

Now when you **** edit we wont the text area to appear, with the content you would like to edit:

Code:
<?
if ($_POST['editor'] == "Edit") {
?>

<form action="editor.php?plugin=editor" method="post">

<? echo "<small><b>Loaded File:</b> {$_POST['editor_file']}</small>";

$loadcontent = "{$_POST['editor_file']}";

$fp = @fopen($loadcontent, "r");
�� $loadcontent = fread($fp, filesize($loadcontent));
�� $loadcontent = htmlspecialchars($loadcontent);
�� fclose($fp);

?>

<textarea name="file_content" cols="72" rows="12">
<?=$loadcontent?>
</textarea>

<input type="submit" name="editor" value="Save"/>
<input type="submit" name="editor" value="Cancel"/>
<input type="hidden" name="editor_file" value="<? echo $_POST['editor_file'] ?>"/>

I want my site to be fast...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hey,

have you ever wondered how Google or GMail somehow manage to have such a fast interface? Often at times, programmers wonder How do they do that? It must me some google genius... lol no, it is not.

Google utilizes a programming language called Ajax.

Ajax is different. When you load a website up it first connects to the server and then gets all the required information and displays it on the users browser. When using ajax however, the page loads up, and whenever a user **** a specific link; instead of the page refreshing all over again Ajax connects directly to the server, gets the information, and replaces. Without refreshing the users browser. This method saves the users time, and decreases server load.

AJAX has been known to be the internets most in-demand language. It was introduced by Microsoft (fashionable yes, to deem them credit for anything but ). Ajax most of the time does not produce any "Security" or "ActiveX" alerts. Ajax is kind of an add-on to JavaScript.

Ajax was made popular by Google Suggest. Notice how it automatically gets the information and displays it in the drop down menu?

hundreds of applications such as most Google Products, Live Mail, and Yahoo Mail have all switched towards Ajax. start learning today!

Avoid using Javascript for form validation

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Programmers Alert:
Okay not exactly avoid but use a server side language to validate as well....
Here's what i mean.

You have a form with the following fields, say
Name:
Age:
email:

And you write a javascript that runs when submit is **** so as to check that email is a valid email address. So far so good....
When the user enters an invalid email address, you alert him and the form is not submitted.
BUT as many of us know, many browsers allow the user to disable javascript.
Under such ****, the form will not be checked and an invalid email address may be entered.....

So it is always advised to cross check the form data entered in PHP or ASP etc for valid data.

Because it is next to impossible to stop PHP on the client side.....
