What is the difference between using GET and POST methods in PHP form submissions?

When submitting a form in PHP, the main difference between using the GET and POST methods lies in how the data is sent to the server. GET method appends the form data to the URL, which is visible in the browser's address bar and has a limit on the amount of data that can be sent. POST method sends the form data in the HTTP request body, making it more secure and suitable for sensitive information or large amounts of data. 

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