Submit button & get

[dig412]

I'm submitting a form using GET, but for some reason, when i submit, the value of the submit button is added on as well. i've never noticed this before, any ideas?

[code]
<form action="index.php" method="GET">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="img" />
<input type="text" name="usertxt" /><br>
Shouting: <input type="radio" name="image" value="shout" checked="checked"/><br>
Newsreader: <input type="radio" name="image" value="news" /><br>
<input type="submit" value="Say It!" />
</form>
[/code]

produces:
index.php?mode=img&usertxt=[whatever]&image=news&Submit=Say+It!

The submit button is part of the form and gets sent just like any other field.

You really should use the POST method, since it is a little more secure (it's harder for the casual user to see what's being passed) and more data can be passed from the form.

I originaly used post, but it causes problems when saving the image in firefox. the form doesn't need to be secure, as it just passes information to a gd script.
