note 108284 modified in tutorial.forms by googleguy

Just a reminder about security: the chosen HTTP request verb (e.g. POST, GET) does not necessarily make the request "secure". Any information that is not transmitted over an encrypted channel (using SSL, i.e. HTTPS) is transmitted in plan text. For secure transport of sensitive/private information over HTTP consider using SSL as this prevents eve's dropping of the information transmitted over HTTP. [Edited by googleguy@php.net for clarity] --was-- Just a reminder about security: neither POST nor GET are "secure". Any information is transmitted nearly in plan text within the IP packets. For security of the transmitted information from client to server (and back) you MUST use transport layer security like e. g. SSL, HTTPS etc. http://php.net/manual/en/tutorial.forms.php
