form won't link to another page, wtf?!!!?

[ShawnD]

else {
		    echo("<p align=\"center\"><font size=\"16\">i think you might be lost, click on the big button to go home
			  <br>
			  <form method=\"LINK\" action=\"tfc.php?page=index\" >
		        <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Take Me Home Now\">
			  </form>
			</font>
			</p>");
}

if no condition is true it goes to the else of course, so it echos a centered thing saying you might be lost, click the button to go home then there is a break then a form which SHOULD link to tfc.php?page=index" but for some reason it doesn't. why?? i took that link form code directly from another another website which is an HTML site so there's no tricks behind it.

try

else {
print <<<END
<p align="center"><font size="16">i think you might be lost, click on the big button to go home
              <br>
              <form method="LINK" action="tfc.php?page=index" >
                <input type="submit" value="Take Me Home Now">
              </form>
            </font>
            </p>
END;
}

There is no method called LINK! There's only GET and POST (I think there's one more, actually, but I won't go into that..)

I do not know what browser you are trying that code with, but IE for instance will use the default if it encounters an unknown method. The default is the GET method, which will wipe out anything you are trying to pass in the query string from the action attribute.

You probably could change your method to POST, but you will get more reliable behavior if you use a hidden input to pass the page value whether you use the GET or the POST method.
