What are the differences between using GET and POST methods in PHP forms and how do they affect data transmission?

When submitting a form in PHP, the main differences between using the GET and POST methods lie in how the data is transmitted. GET method appends form data to the URL, making it visible in the address bar and limited in the amount of data that can be sent. POST method sends form data in the HTTP request body, keeping it hidden from the URL and allowing for larger amounts of data to be transmitted securely. 

<form method="POST" action="process_form.php">
  <input type="text" name="username">
  <input type="password" name="password">
  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
