Hi,

I have a problem with a form.

I am not a programmer, but I didn't find what I need,
So I programmed a script about reading articles using PHP & MYSQL

First the guest choose the cat and then the author, so the action will be :

Show.php?action=showcat&catid=$catid&author= $authorid

After that he can choose the page and the section :

==
View page {} and section {} (do)
==
How can I submit (page) and (section) var into the URL like this :

Show.php?action=showcat&catid=$catid&author= $authorid&page=$page&section=$section


I used (method=\"POST\") and it works but it didn't view the (page) and (section) var in the URL above:

Show.php?action=showcat&catid=$catid&author= $authorid

The script will print $page and $section successfully and view the article with the page and section number.

When I used (method=\"GET\") it didn't work with me,
I tried to test it in a simple code

<?
echo "page : $page<br> section : $section";
echo "
<form name=\"form\" method=\"GET\" action=\"show.php\">
<font face=\"Tahoma\" size=\"5\">view page</font>
<input type=\"text\" name=\"page\" size=\"5\">
<font face=\" Tahoma \" size5\">and section</font>
<input type=\"text\" name=\"section\" size=\"5\">
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"Submit\" value=\"do\">
</form>

?>

this will delete the last URL (Show.php?action=showcat&catid=$catid&author= $authorid)
the cat and author info is disabled.

The Url will be :

show.php?page=1&section=2&Submit=do

now the (Submit=do) appears!

Is there a way to grab the page and section var into the URL like this:
Show.php?action=showcat&catid=$catid&author= $authorid&page=$page&section=$section

hi,

I think you need to put the parameter $page and $section in the action tag, like this:

<?

echo "page : $page<br> section : $section";

echo "
<form name=\"form\" method=\"GET\" action=\"show.php?page=$page&$section=$section\">
<font face=\"Tahoma\" size=\"5\">view page</font>
<input type=\"text\" name=\"page\" size=\"5\">
<font face=\" Tahoma \" size5\">and section</font>
<input type=\"text\" name=\"section\" size=\"5\">
<input type=\"submit\" name=\"Submit\" value=\"do\">
</form>
";

?>
