get puts the values into the query string which means that a cracker could get some of the form data and the varible names and create a form to add false data to what ever your form is doing.

Post doesn't send them through the query string, thus not allowing the cracker to see the varible names or the data.

plus post makes your site look clean in reguards to the amount of jiberish in the address bar.

Or at least that's why i think $_POST is more secure than $_GET. If anybody knows any other reasons why, please expand on my post.
