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

When submitting a form in PHP, the main difference between using POST and GET methods is how the data is sent to the server. With POST, the data is sent in the HTTP request body, making it more secure and suitable for sensitive information. GET sends the data in the URL, which can be seen by anyone and has a limit on the amount of data that can be sent. 

<form method="post" action="process_form.php">
    <!-- form fields here -->
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
```

In the process_form.php file:

```php
<?php
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    // handle form data submitted using POST method
}
?>
