PHP include() and require() function

In PHP, the include() and require() functions are used to include and execute the
contents of another PHP file within the current PHP file. This is useful when you want
to reuse code across multiple files, or when you want to break up a large PHP file into
smaller, more manageable pieces.
While using include() if there are any kind of errors then this include() function will
pop up a warning but, it will not stop the execution of the script rather the script will
continue its process.
While using require() if there are any kind of errors then this require() function will
pop up a warning along with a fatal error and it will immediately stop the execution of
the script.

Syntax:
include 'filename';
or
require 'filename';

Let’s assume that we have a file named ‘two.php’ and we want to include it in our page
named ‘one.php’.

two.php:
<?php
echo "<p>Thank you for visiting our website.</p>";
?>

one.php:
<html>
<body>

<h1>Welcome to the PHP world!</h1>

<p>This is demo of include/require() functions.</p>
<p>Let’s test it.</p>
<?php include 'two.php';?>

</body>
</html>
Output:

Welcome to the PHP world!

This is demo of include/require() functions..
Let’s test it.

Thank you for visiting our website.

Submit form using GET method:

 It will pass variable through URL.
 In this Method Information will be sent to destination file through URL using
concept of Query String.
 The GET method is restricted to send up to 1024 characters only.
 Never use GET method if you have password or other sensitive information to be
sent to the server.
 GET can't be used to send binary data, like images or word documents, to the
server.
 The PHP provides $_GET associative array to access all the sent information using
GET method.

Syntax:

$VariableName = $_GET[“fieldname”];

Disadvantages:-
 Information trying to pass to destination file is visible in URL so it is Insecure.
 Transfer limited amount of Information.
 GET can't be used to send binary data, like images or word documents, to the
server.
 The GET method is restricted to send up to 1024 characters only.
Submit form using POST method:
 The POST method transfers information via HTTP headers.
 It will transfer Information between pages through FORM body.
 The POST method does not have any restriction on data size to be sent.
 The POST method can be used to send ASCII as well as binary data.
 The data sent by POST method goes through HTTP header so security depends on
HTTP protocol. By using Secure HTTP you can make sure that your information is
secure.
 The PHP provides $_POST associative array to access all the sent information using
POST method
 Information is transferred through FORM body, not visible to everyone. Hence
secure method.
 It allows you to transfer larger amount of data.

Syntax:

$VariableName = $_POST[“fieldname”];

Using $_Request method:

 $_REQUEST is a super global variable which is widely used to collect data after
submitting html forms.
 $_REQUEST method is used to retrieve value from URL as well as FORM collection.
 It is used to get the result from form data sent with both the GET and the POST
methods.
 PHP provides the super global variable $_REQUEST that contains the contents of
both the $_GET and $_POST variables as well as the values of
the $_COOKIE variable.

Syntax:

$VariableName = $_REQUEST[“fieldname”];
