PHP security worry

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).


<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://10.129.6.11/result.php?name=412345">http://10.129.6.11/result.php?name=412345</a><!-- m -->


So, question is - why is the supposedly more secure password input out in clear text in the URL? Can I do something about this?could a mod please move this to the correct forum?

pretty please?Shouldn't it be method="post"?I moved this but didn't I just tell you that was teh problem in your other thread :P
