GET data from url

[liamloveslearning]

basically, ive got a html form that posts a GET request to a PHP file. what i want to do is to take the search query from the form and include it somehow onto the end of a URL. i just cant figure out how to add the search query onto the end of the URL in the PHP file 

      

 <?php
        $mm_xsl = new MM_XSLTransform();
        $mm_xsl->setXML("http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/-/Music?max-results=8&orderby=relevance&vq=foo+fighters");
        $mm_xsl->setXSL("video_feed.xsl");
        echo $mm_xsl->Transform();

        ?> 

so where it says foo fighters on the end, id like it to be replaced with whatever the search result was

        $mm_xsl->setXSL("video_feed.xsl");
        echo $mm_xsl->Transform();
?>

 

and use a for to do so <input type="text" name="searchresults" id="$searchresults">

you should use urlencode for the post data.
