Answer
$_GET gets URL parameters. $_POST retrieves data sent through the request body, often for forms.
Quick Answer
$_GET: data from URL query string (?name=Alice&age=25). Visible in URL, bookmarkable, cached. Use for read operations (search, filtering). $_POST: data from form body (not in URL). More secure for sensitive data, not cached. Use for write operations (login, form submission). GET has length limits; POST supports large data and file uploads. Validate both before use.
