What are the differences between using POST and GET methods in PHP for passing data to SQL queries?

When passing data to SQL queries in PHP, using the POST method is more secure as it does not expose sensitive information in the URL. GET method, on the other hand, appends data to the URL which can be seen by anyone and is not recommended for passing sensitive data. To pass data securely to SQL queries, always use the POST method. 

// Using POST method to pass data to SQL queries
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $data = $_POST['data'];
    
    // Use $data in your SQL query
}
