Pass variables into form but still use POST to submit

[blommer]

Hi, I have a form that I want to input variables from a URL into its textboxes but still submit the form manually via POST.

 

Here is my form right now:

 

<?php
echo '<br>' ;
echo '<form method="post" action="index.php">' ;
echo 'School: <input name="school_name" id="school_name" type="text"><br>' ;
echo '<br>' ;
echo 'City: <input name="city_name" id="city_name" type="text"><br>' ;
echo '<br>' ;
echo '<input name="send" id="send" type="submit" value="Enter">' ;
echo '</form>' ;
?>

 

To fill the textboxes I would like the to be able to type a url like:

 

http://www.templeton.com/schools.php?&school_name=Jenkins&city_name=Chicago

 

and be able to fill the form with "Jenkins" and "Chicago." Any ideas on how to do this?

if you submit a get to the page the form is on, you can just do something like

$textbox = '<input .... value="'.$_GET['school_name'].'".. >';
