Forcing PHP to send variables via the URL

[RustBucket]

I have a basic form, which has a few PHP elements for the default values. I want to send a variable to the formhandler page via the HTTP URL, but it's not one of the vars on the form. how do I do this? I mean i need something like:

www.blah.com/page.php?formvar1=value1&formvar2=value2&othervar=othervalue.

What do I do??

Use hidden fields

<input type="hidden" name="othervar" value="<?=$myphpvar?>">

I didn't know there was a type called hidden
/me should brush up on HTML. Thanks
I'll shut up now 😃

In the form action, use something like:

<form action="yourpage.php?var_u_want=to_send_along" method.......>

Or the hidden filed is also an option. Just more work.

Hope this helps
Cheers

The advantage of a hidden field is that it can be POSTed - especially if it's a password.
