[SOLVED] Help to make this work

[almightyegg]

I have posted this before I know, but I can't find the post now 

 

<center><br>
<form action="viewthread.php?<? echo "f=$f&t=$t"; ?>" method="GET">
<b>Input a Thread ID and jump straight to it:</b><br>
Thread ID <input type="text" name="pos">
<?
$pos = $_POST['pos'];
$arr = explode('.',$pos);
$fid = $arr[0];
$tid = $arr[1];
$t = $_GET['tid'];
$f = $_GET['fid'];

?>
<input type="submit" value="Jump to Thread">

</form></center>

 

This code is meant to split up a code put in by the user in the format of XXXX.YYYY . XXXX = ForumID and YYYY = PostID. I need both to identify which exact post the user wants. The code above doesn't work because it just puts the XXXX.YYYY code into a link like viewthread.php?pos=XXXX.YYYY (pos is the name of the input field in the form) is there any way I can make it split like I've attempted above and send to a link like viewthread.php?f=XXXX&t=YYYY ??? any help will be greatly apreciated

Put your PHP code above where you echo the variable?

<center><br>
<form action="viewthread.php?<? echo "f=$f&t=$t"; ?>" method="GET">
<b>Input a Thread ID and jump straight to it:</b><br>
Thread ID <input type="text" name="pos">
<?
$arr = explode('.',$pos);
$fid = $arr[0];
$tid = $arr[1];
$t = $_GET['tid'];
$f = $_GET['fid'];
$pos = $_POST['pos'];

?>
<input type="submit" value="Jump to Thread">

</form></center>

 

Like that? If so it didn't work, but thanks

You didn't change anything.

<?
$pos = $_POST['pos'];
$arr = explode('.',$pos);
$fid = $arr[0];
$tid = $arr[1];
$t = $_GET['tid'];
$f = $_GET['fid'];
?>
<center><br>
<form action="viewthread.php?<? echo "f=$f&t=$t"; ?>" method="GET">
<b>Input a Thread ID and jump straight to it:</b><br>
Thread ID <input type="text" name="pos">
<input type="submit" value="Jump to Thread">
</form></center>

I did, I swapped the order of stuff, but I see you didn't mean what I thought you meant anyways, I'll try that

Didn't make a difference
