Hi Khai,
From my understanding the variables are passed along from a form depending on
the "method" in your HTML code. If you use the "GET" method, the form adds the
variable to the URL (e.g. http://www.domain.com/phpscript?var1=1+var2=2 ) and
would access them in PHP with the $_GET variables.
If the form uses the "POST" method though, the variable are passed along more
transparently, so you don't see them on the URL, and can get the using the
$_POST variables.
