As a simplification, "GET" is basically for just getting (retrieving) data whereas "POST" may involve anything, like storing or
updating data, or ordering a product, or sending E-mail. (Very simple)
The action tells which file that will read / retrive your request. You can change this to what you want, but make sure that
the file in action property exist.

Hope this helps.
