DarkWater Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 ...What? $_GET contains variables passed in from the URL, so if you have a URL like page.php?message=Test, $_GET['message'] will be equal to 'Test'.

kenshintomoe225 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 just to kind of add on to what DarkWater is saying, $_GET will be used when the method attribute on a form is set to get. For example: <form name="myGreatForm" action="do/thing" method="GET"> All data is then pass to your PHP script via the URL itself. More specifically, method=get makes use of a specific feature of the HTTP request structure. The other option is POST, where data is not passed via the URL, but in a "part" of the HTTP request that is usually not visible to the user. Since you said you're new, welcome to PHP I'm sure you'll love it as much as we do!
