Why my $_POST is empty?

Question

I have no time and too tired to struggle with this, so I decided to ask here: I've created the file my.php which contains only:

<?php var_dump( $_POST ); ?>

And then I open the file using browser like this:

www.domain.com/my.php?post1=hey&post2=ho&post3=letsgo

And in the browser I have array(0) { } as a response.

Question: What could I possibly done wrong??

Thanks!

These parameters are passed by GET method not POST so use $_GET — Sunil Pachlangia, May 15 '15 at 12:10

_And in the browser I have array(0) { } as a response._ because its `get` not `post` — Narendrasingh Sisodia, May 15 '15 at 12:12
Thanks dudes! You're totally right! Please don't downvote poor noobie! — LoomyBear, May 15 '15 at 12:14
You could start by accepting an answer, people tend to look less at a question that is marked as resolved :) — Blizz, May 15 '15 at 12:18
@Blizz I can't dude ))) SO requires to wait 10 minutes before accepting an answer... 10 minutes is enough for noob to be punished and never ask stupid stuff again ... I guess this is the logic here )) — LoomyBear, May 15 '15 at 12:22
It's a fairly basic mistake, that is true. But then again: everyone had to start out at some point. In any case, I voted you up again, it's all I can do :) — Blizz, May 15 '15 at 12:23
@Blizz and I'm gladly accepting it, good sir! Have a delightful day! — LoomyBear, May 15 '15 at 12:24

In URL are GET parameters, not POST.

echo $_GET['post1']; // hey
echo $_GET['post2']; // ho
echo $_GET['post3']; // letsgo
