**PHP `$_GET`** is an associative array of variables passed to the current script via the URL parameters. `$_GET` is a PHP #key# superglobal variable: variable that is accessible anywhere regardless of scope #key# and can collect data sent in the URL.  

`$_GET` is also used to collect form data after submitting an HTML form with `method="get"`.

> You can also use [\$_POST](https://www.educative.io/answers/php-post) to get form data. The difference between `$_GET` and `$_POST` is that the former uses URL parameters to pass form data, while the latter uses the HTTP POST method.

# Example

Suppose a user visits the URL:  `http://example.com/?name=John&age=25`.  
You can access the `name` and `age` parameters using `$_GET['name']` and `$_GET['age']`, respectively:

**PHP `＄_GET`** is an associative array of variables passed to the current script via the URL parameters. `＄_GET` is a PHP #key# superglobal variable: variable that is accessible anywhere regardless of scope #key# and can collect data sent in the URL.  

`＄_GET` is also used to collect form data after submitting an HTML form with `method="get"`.
