note 35417 added to tutorial.forms

Regarding debate over GET and POST method: One disadvantage of the POST method is that you can't bookmark it in a URL. So if you want ot make a URL that bookmarks both the WebPage and some form contents, you have to use the GET method, i.e. webpage?formcontents. Warning, the Apache server logs the complete URL including formcontents in a file that anyone can read, so be sure never to include a password in the form in GET method, regardless of whether bookmarked or onetime. For example, my CGI site has a login form, and I have a bookmark for specifying my own (rather long) e-mail address, but do *not* include my password in that bookmark, rather I click on the link and get the login form with my e-mail address already filled in but I still have to type my password, and of course it's a POST instead of GET form when I then submit it with password. http://shell.rawbw.com/~rem/cgi-bin/ LogForm.cgi?id=RobertMaas@YahooGroups.Com (Cliki complained it was too long so I had to split it.) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.forms.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+35417 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+35417&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+35417&report=yes
