How can a PHP beginner handle both GET and POST methods in form data submission?

To handle both GET and POST methods in form data submission, you can check the request method using the $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] variable in PHP. If the method is POST, you can access the form data using the $_POST superglobal array. If the method is GET, you can access the form data using the $_GET superglobal array. 

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
    // Handle form data submitted via POST method
    $username = $_POST['username'];
    $password = $_POST['password'];
    
    // Process the form data
} elseif ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET') {
    // Handle form data submitted via GET method
    $username = $_GET['username'];
    $password = $_GET['password'];
    
    // Process the form data
}
