No - there is a difference in how its transfered but there are several
syntactic and semantic differences.

Yes - although:
1) it's nothing to do with PHP
2) it won't work everywhere
If you post (pvar=3) to a url with a query (http://www.example.com/?
gvar=splodge) the relevant variables will appear in the _POST and _GET
arrays. All variables will appear in _REQUEST.
If you look at you javascript which actualy makes the request it will
typically decide at runtime whether to create a document or use
xmlhttprequest.
If it does something like this:
requestor = document.implementation.createDocument(blah,blah,blah);
then you can't (AFAIK) post.
if on the other hand it does this:
requestor = new XMLHttpRequest(); - for a sensible browser
requestor = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); - for MSIE
requester.open("GET"...
just amend the javascript to something like:
requestor.open("POST",URL,async);
reqestor.setRequestHeader('Content-type','application/x-www-form-
urlencoded');
(if your using async, set a callback)
requestor.send('posted=something&othervar=4');
