What is the default method for transferring data in HTML forms and how does it affect PHP usage?
The default method for transferring data in HTML forms is the "GET" method. This method appends the form data to the URL, making it visible and potentially insecure for sensitive information. To securely transfer data, the "POST" method should be used instead.
<form method="post" action="process_form.php">
<!-- Form fields go here -->
</form>
