How can the PHP code be modified to properly handle form data submitted using the POST method instead of the GET method?

When handling form data submitted using the POST method in PHP, you need to access the form data through the $_POST superglobal array instead of the $_GET superglobal array. This ensures that sensitive data like passwords is not visible in the URL. To modify the PHP code to properly handle form data submitted using the POST method, change references from $_GET to $_POST. 

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $username = $_POST['username'];
    $password = $_POST['password'];
    
    // Process the form data as needed
}
?>
