GET and POST

I have a question that is going to make me look stupid, but as I am new to 


html and php (2 months), I'll as it anyway.



I have been using POST as the action and to get values that were input.  I 


understand that GET could also be used as the action (not just to get stuff 


after the "?" which I understand).



a. When should GEt be used and when should POST be used?


b. What is the difference between the two?



Thanks.



Shelly
