# [[PHP Forms]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
GET data is visible in the URL and bookmarkable, but capped at ~2000 characters and NEVER safe for passwords — while POST data is invisible in the URL (no bookmarking) but has no size limit and supports file uploads — meaning the "developer preference for POST" isn't arbitrary, it directly follows from these visibility/size/capability trade-offs. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **`$_GET` / `$_POST`** — superglobal arrays collecting form data by the `name` attribute as key. [S1]
- **GET** — data visible in URL; ~2000 character limit; bookmarkable; NEVER use for passwords/sensitive data. [S1]
- **POST** — data invisible (embedded in request body); no size limit; supports file uploads (multi-part binary). [S1]
- **No validation shown yet** — this chapter demonstrates the mechanics only; security/validation comes in later chapters. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- POST form: `<form action="welcome.php" method="post"> Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br> ...`. [S1]
- Retrieval: `echo $_POST["name"]; echo $_POST["email"];`. [S1]
- GET form equivalent: `<form action="welcome_get.php" method="get"> ...` retrieved via `$_GET["name"]`. [S1]

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)
- **GET의 보안 경고**: 비밀번호 등 민감한 정보는 절대 GET으로 전송해서는 안 된다는 점이 강하게 경고됨. [S1]

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — 이 챕터의 예제는 검증 없는 기초 폼 처리이며, 다음 챕터부터 보안을 고려한 검증이 다뤄진다. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Basic POST form and retrieval (PHP/HTML):
```html
<form action="welcome.php" method="post">
    Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
    <input type="submit">
</form>
```
```php
echo $_POST["name"];
```

## ✅ 검증 상태 및 신뢰도
- **상태:** draft
- **검증 단계:** conceptual
- **출처 신뢰도:** B (W3Schools — widely used educational reference, not a primary standards body)
- **신뢰 점수:** 0.90
- **중복 검사 결과:** 신규 생성 (New discovery)

## 🔗 지식 그래프 (Knowledge Graph)
- **상위/루트:** [[PHP Tutorial]]
- **관련 개념:** [[PHP Superglobals Get]], [[PHP Superglobals Post]], [[PHP Form Validation]]
- **참조 맥락:** 폼 처리의 기초 — 보안을 고려한 폼 검증(Form Validation) 챕터로 직접 이어짐.
