    How to transferring form data through Url "Get" method?

    Hey I have a short little poll thing and i'd like to transfer the results to another page through url like
    ...com/?x=12&y=55 hers what I got so far:
    by the way my website doesn't let me use the post method
    Code:
    <form name="input" action="index2.htm" method="get">
Name: <input type="text" name="user" /> <br />
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="male" /> Male<br />
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="female" /> Female <br />
<input type="checkbox" name="Bike" value="Yes" /> I have a bike<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="Car" value="Yes" /> I have a car <br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
    I'd like the site index2.htm to display something like: "Name is a male and has a bike But not a Car

          You SHOULD be getting something like:

          index2.htm?user =username&sex=m ale&bike=I%20ha ve%20a%20bike

          Or something similar.

          I find it weird that you're unable to post. What version of PHP is the server running?

              oh my gosh okay it works fine i get a url like
              index2.htm?user =username&sex=m ale&bike=I%20ha ve%20 a%20bike
              But on that page I want to take those varibles and make a sentence like: Hello bob you are male and you have a car and a bike

              Also the post method doesn't work because I have a sub-domain through webs.com and I doesn't allow the post method.

                  you can use JavaScript for that. the object of interest is window.location .search

                      ok i managed to find this code
                      Code:
                      <html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">

function onload()
{
alert(window.location.search);
}

</script>
</head>

<body onLoad="onload()">

</body>
</html>
                      whats with the "alert" or "onload" do i need them, and if im right this will return them as javascript variables?

                      I used this code just to test it and it didn't woek
                      Code:
                      <head>
<script language="JavaScript">
 
function onload()
{
alert(window.location.search);
}
 
document.write(sex);


</script>

</head>

                          window.location .search returns that part of the URI between file address and anchor target. you have to break up that string into the relevant parts. it does not do the break-up automatically.

                              thanks Dormilich

                              Code:
                              <script type="text/javascript">
<!--

function querySt(ji) {
hu = window.location.search.substring(1);
gy = hu.split("&");
for (i=0;i<gy.length;i++) {
ft = gy[i].split("=");
if (ft[0] == ji) {
return ft[1];
}
}
}

var koko = querySt("sex");

document.write(koko);
document.write("<br>");
document.write(hu);
