What are the potential benefits of using POST instead of GET in PHP forms?

When submitting form data in PHP, using POST instead of GET can provide better security by not displaying sensitive information in the URL. POST requests can also handle larger amounts of data and are more suitable for submitting data that will be stored or updated on the server. 

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