Button-hyperlink and PHP variables.

[opt_inf_env@yahoo.com]

Hello,

anybody know why the following button

<form action="newpage .php?id=3">
<input type="submit" value="Cancel">
</form>


loads "newpage.ph p?" (not "newpage.php?id =3")?

Some browsers do not support url parameters in form actions -- I think
it's officially not supposed to.

You're supposed to do this instead:

<form action="newpage .php">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="3">
<input type="submit" value="Cancel">
</form>

I noticed that Message-ID: <i0ptc1ltq42rfl flk4huuk8ealg06 opjmv@4ax.com>
from Wayne contained the following:
[color=blue]
><form action="newpage .php">
><input type="hidden" name="id" value="3">
><input type="submit" value="Cancel">
></form>[/color]

shouldn't that be

<form action="newpage .php" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="3">
<input type="submit" value="Cancel">
</form>

Arguably! though 'method' defaults to GET anyway. I don't see
why you wouldn't put it in.

Ok, have you run any tests?

Well, the HTML spec merely restricts 'action' to a URI.
There's nothing wrong with having a query part in a URI,
though following the procedures set out in the spec you could
get some surprising results here!

are you checking the value of $_GET["id"]?

Maybe?

<form action="newpage .php&amp;id=3">

(Note: not tried).
