I have just got into PHP, so I thought that to start I would keep it simple.
I have a form page:
<form name="test_form" action="result.php" method="get">
Name:
<input type="password" name="name">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
I then submit to the php page, and noticed how the parameters are passed as arguments to the page name (bear with me, like I said I have just got into this).
http://10.129.6.11/result.php?name=412345
So, question is - why is the supposedly more secure password input out in clear text in the URL? Can I do something about this?
