    Web Techniques
    1.3.1. Methods
    There are two HTTP methods that a client can use to pass form data to the server: GET and
    POST.
    The method that a particular form uses is specified with the method attribute to the form tag.
    Methods are case-insensitive in the HTML.
    The most visible difference between GET and POST is the URL line.
    GET POST
    A GET request encodes the form A POST request passes the form parameters in the
    parameters in the URL, in what is called a body of the HTTP request, leaving the URL
    query string. URL such as untouched. URL such as
    http://localhost/SemII/chunk.php?word=H http://localhost/SemII/chunk.php
    ello+how+are+you&length=3&button=Ma
    ke+Chunk
    Form's parameters are encoded in the Bookmark cannot be done with POST requests.
    URL with a GET request, users can
    bookmark GET queries.

    GET requests are idempotent i.e web POST requests are not idempotent means that
    browsers can cache the response pages for web browser page cannot be cached, and the
    GET requests, because the response page server is re-contacted every time the page is
    doesn't change regardless of how many displayed.
    times the page is loaded
    GET requests should be used where the POST requests should be used for queries whose
    response page is never going to change - response pages may change over time—for
    for example, queries such as splitting a example, displaying the contents of a shopping
    word into smaller chunks or multiplying cart or the current messages in a bulletin board.
    numbers,

    The type of method that was used to request a PHP page is available through
    $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']. For example:
    if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET') {
    // handle a GET request
    }
    else {
    die("You may only GET this page.");
    }

    1.3.2. Parameters
    Use the $_POST, $_GET, and $_FILES arrays to access form parameters from your PHP code.
    The keys are the parameter names in HTML form, and the values are the values of those
    parameters.
    Example:
    <html>
    <form action="chunk.php" method="POST">
    Enter the word: <input type="text" name=word><br>
    How long should be the chunk: <input type="text"
    name=length><br>
    <input type="submit" name=button value="Make Chunk">
    </form>
    </html>

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>
    chunk words
    </title> </head>
    <body>
    <?php
    print_r($_GET);// Global get array
    $word=$_GET['word'];
    $length=$_GET['length'];
    $no_of_chunks=ceil(strlen($word)/$length);
    echo $no_of_chunks;
    for ($i=0; $i < $no_of_chunks; $i++) {
    $chunk = substr($word, $i*3, 3);
    echo "<br>".($i+1) .":".$chunk."<br>";
    }
    ?>
    </body>
    </html>
