What are the advantages of using POST over GET in PHP?

Using POST over GET in PHP is advantageous when dealing with sensitive data such as passwords or personal information. POST requests do not display the data in the URL, making it more secure as the information is sent in the request body. It also allows for larger amounts of data to be sent compared to GET requests. Additionally, POST requests can be used to submit forms and interact with databases securely. 

<form method="POST" action="process_form.php">
    <label for="username">Username:</label>
    <input type="text" name="username" id="username">
    
    <label for="password">Password:</label>
    <input type="password" name="password" id="password">
    
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
