    Form Problem

    Hi
    I am making a search form that returns the word that the user searched as an experiment, this is the code i am using on index.html
    Code:
    <html>
<body>


<center><form action="welcome.php" method="post">
<input type="text" size="40"  name="name" /></center>

<center><input type="submit" value="Search" /></center>
</form>

</html>
    Then for the second page welcome.php i am using
    Code:
    <?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?>
    What i want is firstly for what the user searches to be in the url for example in a google search for php http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...e+Search&meta= php is in the url how can i make mine so it is /search?PHP for example?

    Also how can i make it so on the second page the search box is there?

    Thanks

          Moreso, change
          method="post"
          to
          method="get"
          Then on the server side catching script
          $_GET['name']
