Send data submitted by user in form to address bar

[e1seix]

OK, it's pretty self-explanatory but when I have a form in my PHP scripting I'm trying to figure out a way of sending what the user enters to the end of the address bar in the new page that opens when the form is submitted:

 

echo    '<form action="/search.php?result=$result" method="post">';

 

echo '<a href="/">Home</a> | ';

echo '<a href="/whatsnew.php?startrow=0">What&#39;s New</a> | ';

echo '<a href="/newsletter.php">Newsletter</a> | ';

 

echo    'Search: <input type="text" name="search">';

echo    '<input type="submit" value="Go!">';

 

echo    '</form>';

 

I need $result to equal what the user enters to use the GET_$result code on the search.php page.

 

Any ideas?

Set your forms method to GET.

What thorpe said is probably the best approach, I just wanted to point out you can only use variables inside of double quoted strings and not single quoted strings like in your code.
