Time Narration
0:00 Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Post variable. Here I am going to use the same code as that of the 'get.php' page. The same one that I have done in my 'get' variable tutorial.
0:13 If you have not seen that already, please do so and then go through this tutorial. You will be able to know all these codes about.
0:21 If you already know these codes about and you have not seen the 'get' tutorial, you are welcome to join us.
0:28 I have got my page with my 'get' as previous
0:31 I have got a new file called 'post.php'
0:36 Actually, what I want to do is change this as post and post it as a post variable.
0:44 So quite simply and logically I will just go through this and change this to post
0:51 and here is what we call 'post' instead of 'get' and this will work
0:57 Let me show you my post page
01:00 there is nothing here. There is no question mark
01:04 Let me type alex and click here. But nothing has come up
01:09 that is why
1:11 do you remember if you are working with another file, you need to change the action
1:19 let's refresh it
1:22 I can see alex. Let me click here and this is hello alex
1:28 next we are in the 'post.php' font and there is no question mark
1:33 something has been taken across. It has been stored inside a post variable
1:39 but why it is not showing two users
1:44 this will be absolutely brilliant if we can say 'password' .Let's call this 'password'
2:02 I'll say here 'thanks for your password' and let's go back
2:11 and now, as you can see, this is a password field
2:15 so I'll type 123 as my password and I click here
2:22 it says, thanks for your password
2:25 it has been stored. so it can be used. I can use it, if i want to
2:31 I'll just change that. so it makes more sense
2:37 let's do a refresh and resend the data
2:42 123, click here and its not displaying. That's why
2:49 you should check these things. It is easy to make mistakes
2:54 Let me type 123. Let me click here and it says 'thanks for your password'. and it as given me my password
3:06 It proves that it has been carried across it has been stored in a post variable
3:12 but it hasn't shown the user, which could have made sense
3:16 because there would be no point having these as blocks. They are not readable in any way.
3:22 and here there would no point having it because people can read your password
3:27 So it will be very easy for people to look through your internet history.
3:32 and see you have typed your password. But people might get access to your account with that
3:38 so you can see this post. These are used for functions, also the amount that can be sent through it
3:45 so if for example, my password was really long say over 100 characters it will still be accepted
3:52 but in the 'get' variable you have a hundred character limit
3:57 so the post thus seem to be useful. But if you are evaluating things, like, trying to sort out some things, you can use the get variable
4:08 just to see if your data is being passed through.
4:11 so basically that's post variable
4:14 you would be using it a lot on projects for form submissions. This brings us to the end of this tutorial
4:22 This is Siddarth for the Spoken Tutorial Project. Thanks for watching.
