CORT0619 Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 So, I'm using the get request to send values input by the user through the url to another page: <a href="tms.php?ticket_num=$ticket_num&name=$name&email=$email&phone=$phone&problem=$problem&tech=$tech"><input type="submit" value="Search" /></a> however, once I click the above button the url reads: <form>http://localhost/get?ticket_num=1234&name=Tiffany+Happy&email=tharmon15%40gmail.com&phone=3523453643&problem=hardware+issue&tech=Calvin+Schaffer</form> So, I'm wondering why the url changes to get? instead of tms.php?

MDCode Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I believe forms overrule links (not sure). Since you have a submit button I'm assuming you have a form so, you will need to post the opening <form> tag Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/272326-using-the-get-request/#findComment-1401096 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDCode Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 You have action and method mixed up. Action is the page you want the form to go to. Method is what process you want to use, most common use is post and get Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/272326-using-the-get-request/#findComment-1401099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian F. Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Also, you need to use the URL in the first post as the action, as that's where the form's content will be posted. You cannot do both at the same time, unless you override the standard submit event and add some AJAX to it.

Barand Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Either Remove the submit button and replace it with the string "Search" or Put the search values in form elements (text boxes or hidden fields) and use the form to search (once you have the method and actions the right way round Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/272326-using-the-get-request/#findComment-1401123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
