Saving info while submitting page with GET in PHP - php

Question

<form method='get' action='y.php'>
<div>
<input type='text' id='txtName' name='txtName'/>
<input type='submit' value='submit' id='submit'/>
</div>
</form>
<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET')
{
if (isset($_GET['btnSave'])) {
$name=isset(($_GET['txtName'])?isset($_GET['txtName']:'');
//then Logic of insert goes here
}
}
?>
so before moving to y.php the record must be saved.
but I cant get the $name value, as action given to y.php.
How can I get $name which contain value in text box.
if you change the action to this (same/current) page record is going to database without any flaw or error.

Answer 1

try using post method instead and change your code accordingly, try this:
<form method='post' action=''>
<div>
<input type='text' id='txtName' name='txtName'/>
<input type='submit' value='submit' id='submit' name='submit'/>
</div>
</form>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$name=$_POST['txtName'];
//then Logic of insert goes here
//redirect to y.php with name value
echo "<script>window.open('y.php?user=$name','_self')</script>";
}
?>
Then use $nme = $_GET['user']; to get the value of $name in y.php

Try this code,
<form method='get' action=''>
<div>
<input type='text' id='txtName' name='txtName'/>
<input type='submit' value='submit' id='submit'/>
</div>
</form>
<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET')
{
if (isset($_GET['txtName'])) {
$name=$_GET['txtName'];
//then Logic of insert goes here
}
}
?>

I suggest you use method post. You can code like this
<form method='post' action=''>
<div>
<input type='text' id='txtName' name='txtName'/>
<input type='submit' value='submit' id='submit'/>
</div>
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['txtName'])){
$name =$_POST['txtName'];
echo $name;
}
?>
you can use the session if you want make the value use in another file.
I hope that can solve your problem
