So as usually I put in information in the url leading towards another page like this:
<form action="index.php?type=question">
<input class="log-btn extra" type="submit" value="Home">
</form>
Usually it always works, I even copy pasted it because I've used the exact same url before and on the other page it works but doesn't on this one it just returns empty after the questionmark like this:
index.php?
When you want to misuse a Button as a link with URL query parameters you can do it in two ways.
In your example you try to set query parameters in the action attribute of the form. That is working as long as the method is not get, because get-parameters and URL query is exactly the same thing and submitting the form will overwrite the query with the get parameters of the form elements.
<form action="home.php?type=question" method="post">
<input class="log-btn extra" type="submit" value="Home">
</form>
You can also set <form method="get"> and use a button:
<form action="home.php" method="get">
<button type="submit" name="type" value="question">Home</button>
</form>

I have my page as follows:
<form id="filterQuery" action="#" method="post">
...
<input type="submit">
</form>
<?php
// use $_POST to determine query restrictions and conditions
?>
Now my problem is with the action of the form, because if I make it "#" self, nothing happens when clicking submit.
I'm using a template which shows subpages as include in <div>s. In other words, my page is not a standard HTML page which contain <head> and <body> etc, but is in the following format: basic.php#!/my_sub_page.
Trying to make action "basic.php#!/my_sub_page" results in an empty _POST
I tried your example and everything works fine with /index.php#!/smth in action and post variables.
<form action="#!/something" method="post">
<input type="text" name="var1" value="123">
<input type="submit"></form>
<?php
print_r($_POST);
?>
This is how I check it.
Are you sure you didn't forget name attributes in inputs?
Do you see their values in url after ? if you change method to get?
I can only use php and html to do this.
I'm trying to pass the input of a text box to the URL. Something like this ?input=
The page will be the same.
<form method='post' action="">
<input type="text" name="input">
</form>
If you want the values to be in the url you need to change the method of your form to get
<form method="get" action="">
This will cause your url to look something like http://mydomain.com/index.php?input=something. All values passed in the URL like this are then accessible via $_GET.
<?PHP
echo $_GET['input'];
?>
You don't need the anchor tag as you have it. Just changing the form will cause the form to submit as you want it.
<form method='get' action="">
<input type="text" name="input">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
if you wanted to append all form input in the url then you should use get form method.
and you should not use anchor tag because it seems that it is meaningless.
So your form should be like this:
<form method='get' action="">
<input type="text" name="input">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
After submitting the form you will url like this:
http://yousite.com/this_page?input=typed_value
you can access your purl params by using global $_GET or $_REQUEST (e.g $_REQUEST['input'])
I have a problem with creating a simple search form, used to search my database.
I started using the POST-method and everything worked fine, but switched to using GET-method instead to be able to bookmark my search results. But now I have trouble with the "action-url" when posting.
<form action="index.php?page=searchresult'" method="post">
This worked fine, I got my var's sent to the stated URL, but
<form action="index.php?page=searchresult" method="get">
Doesn't work. When I check my HTML code everything looks great, but I end up going to the URL
site.com/index.php?ALL THE GET-variables linedup here.
I am loosing the "?page=searchresult" part when using the GET-method?!
Am I missing something here, please help?!
Humble regards :)
Try changing this to
<form action="index.php?page=searchresult" method="get">
Put the page element as a hidden tag.
<form action="index.php" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="page" value="searchresult"/>
<!-- Rest of the input elements -->
<input type="submit" />
</form>
This should fix your issue.
If you are using GET methood then you can pass page parameter in hidden field
like
<input type="hidden" name="page" value="searchresult">
GET sends data in the query string. If the URL in the action has a query string, it will be overwritten by the new one generated by the form.
Store your data in hidden inputs instead.
Well, this is interesting, but you can fix it using an hidden <input>, such as this:
<form action="index.php" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="page" value="searchresult" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
Just compile the "value" of the hidden input with what you need to pass.
Tried it and it actually works.
Edit:
obviously, from php, use this:
<?php $page = ((isset($_GET['page'])?($_GET['page']):("nope")); ?>
Add a hidden page data in the form.
<form action="index.php" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="page" value="searchresult" />
Simply because "page=searchresult" is a get data.
You have a quote too much, try removing it.

<form action="index.php?page=searchresult'" method="post">
When clicking a button, I would like my URL to become this:
users.php?action=search&formvar1=value&formvar2=value&...
This is what I've tried:
<form id="search" action="users.php?action=search" method="get">
But this doesn't seem to work (it doesn't add the action=search part). Is there any way to do this? I know it works when using POST instead of GET, so why wouldn't it here?
Thank you
You can do that similarly to a POST form. Simply include the default attribute as hidden form field:
<form id="search" action="users.php" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="search">
This way it will be added as parameter to the URL like all other variables.
The browser is building the query string from scratch.
Instead, you can add an <input type="hidden" name="action" value="search" />.
What I want to achieve is the following. A search is made from one IFrame "the form is loaded into this frame via the src atribute of iframe" the search query is then passed to another IFrame that redirects to a url with the query eg. www.test.com/index.php?query=test
Is this possible?
Currently my code looks as such
<iframe src="abc.php" name="iframe1">
</iframe>
<iframe name="iframe2">
<?php
var_dump($_GET);
?>
</iframe>
abc.php contains the following
<form method="get" action="#" target="iframe2">
<input type="text" name="searchtype" id="searchtype" />
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
Untested (don't have PHP installed on this machine).
You are passing your submission form back to itself, and loading the result into iframe2, which is why you just see that form again in the other frame. So what you need to do is put your form processing logic into a second .php file, instead of inside your iframe tags, and then have the form's action be abcd.php (or whatever) and keep the target as iframe2.
Try this.
<form method="get" action="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" target="iframe2">
<input type="text" name="searchtype" id="searchtype" />
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
