GET request on page removing POST information

[tony_p]

I have a drop down form that the user selects to change the number of items shown per page

<form id="pagesize" action="<?php $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']; ?>" method="get">
<select class="paginate" name="caption" onchange="this.form.submit()"$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']; ?>
<option caption=4 value=4>4</option>
<option caption=5 value=5>5</option>
<option caption=10 value=10>10</option>
<option caption=25 value=25>25</option>
</select>
</form>

 the  problem is that whenever someone perform a get request on the page the POST data disappears. Does anyone know any way in which we can solve this. We can post to the page fine, the print_r of post shows this when we head to the page: Array '/Search_form/search_results.php?photograpgher_id=1&photographer=x&image=x&Submit=Search&page=1' its only when we do a get request on the page we have a problem as the post data does not follow through with the get request we only get the this array '/Search_form/search_results.php?caption=5' but it should be '/Search_form/search_results.php?photograpgher_id=1&photographer=x&image=x&Submit=Search&page=1?caption=5' as I have type this in manually and works fine any help would be appreciated

when a method='get' form is submitted, only the form fields are append to the url. you would need to pass any existing get parameters as hidden form fields.
