change the URL using GET method

[alluoshi]

Hello, if I have <Form Action = "x.php?add some stuff here" Method = post> this works when I hit the button, the new URL will be "x.php?add some stuff here". I tried the same with the GET method like: <Form Action = "y.php?add some stuff here" Method = GET> but didn't work. The URL always shows "y.php? submit=value".

1- Is there any way to fix this problem using GET?

2- I used POST instead of GET for y.php (which is a file to retrieve data). It worked; the new URL has changed and it displays the same data as it is in GET. But this will show that I am using the method POST to retrieve data which doesn't make sense. Is there a better approach than this?

better to use post! when you are submitting your form as GET you are telling the script to submit the form values as GET variables. thats why you see "y.php?submit=value".
