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.
0:10	If you have not seen that already, please do so and then go through this tutorial. You will be able to know about all these codes.
0:16	If you already know about these codes and you have not seen the 'get' tutorial, you are welcome to join us.
0:19	I have got my page with my 'get' as previous
0:22	I have got a new file called 'post.php'
0:25	Actually, what I want to do is change this and post it as a post variable.
0:34	Quite simply and logically I will just go through this and change it to post
0:38	and here is what we call 'post' instead of 'get' and this will work
0:44	Let me show you my post page
0:50	there is nothing here. There is no question mark
0:53	Let me type alex and click here. But nothing has come up
0:59	that is why
1:00	do remember if you are working with another file, you need to change the action
1:06	let's refresh it
1:12	I can see alex. Let me click here and this is hello alex
1:16	next we are in the 'post.php' font and there is no question mark
1:20	something has been taken across. It has been stored inside a post variable
1:29	but why it is not showing two users
1:34	this will be absolutely brilliant if we can say 'password' .Let's call this 'password'
1:44	I'll say here 'thanks for your password' and let's go back
1:58	and now, as you can see, this is a password field
2:03	so I'll type 123 as my password and I click here
2:09	it says, thanks for your password
2:11	it has been stored. so it can be used. I can use it, if i want to
2:16	I'll just change that. so it makes more sense
2:24	let's do a refresh and resend the data
2:29	123, click here and its not displaying. That's why
2:38	you should check these things. It is easy to make mistakes
2:46	Let me type 123. Let me click here and it says 'thanks for your password'. and it ahs given me my password
2:52	It proves that it has been carried across and has been stored in a post variable
2:59	but it hasn't shown the user, which could have made sense
3:01	because there would be no point having these as blocks. They are not readable in any way.
3:07	and here there would no point having it because people can read your password
3:11	it will also be very easy for people to look through your internet history.
3:18	and see you have typed your password. But people might get access to your account with that
3:23	so you can see this post. These are used for functions, also the amount that can be sent through it
3:29	so if for example, my password was really long say over 100 characters it will still be accepted
3:36	but in the 'get' variable you have a hundred character limit
3:40	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
3:50	just to see if your data is being passed through.
3:56	so that's basically the post variable
4:01	you would be using it a lot on projects for form submissions. This brings us to the end of this tutorial
4:06	This is Siddarth for the Spoken Tutorial Project. Thanks for watching.
