What's the difference between POST and GET? I think GET means to load arrays from the database and I know, in fact, POST means to record arrays at the database.

Am I right?

ur wrong, it doesnt use a database all the time, get will put everything u have in ur form into the URL, ex

<input type="text" name="g" value="dog">
<input type="text" name="d" value="god">

$_GET will put into the URL once the form is submitted, file.php?g=dog&d=god
and so on for more fields

$_POST dosent do that **** in the URL

yah in my opinion if your submitting data through a form just use $_POST because it looks a lot better and you dont see all that **** in the url.

If you have a link thats like http://www.gcshideout.com/view.php?file=20 then yse $_GET['file'] to get the "file" value which is 20

Then what kind of PHP language should I use to record arrays in the database. Likely forum..... writing a message and save it on the board. It records the message on the database, right?

All I want is to create my own membership login. Example: I want my visitors to create their own story in text and save their story in the data of their account. Later when they login and they want to load their story from the data in their account. How to do it? Using POST?? Using fopen()?? INSERT INTO?? SELECT FROM?? CREATE DATABASE??

You're completely incorrect. Neither of them have anything to do with databases whatsoever. You REALLY need to learn some basic stuff before plunging into a project like this.

I just read through the book and found out how to record arrays in the database. Use INSERT INTO is part of recording arrays. Like my visitor save his own story in his account. Later he login and load the story. I know loading a data by using SELECT FROM and save data is using INSERT INTO. That is what I found out.
