POST sent to the same page problem

nobru

Hi there,

I have a form that is supposed to be posted to the very same page.
When I don't add any action, the query string portion of the URL gets cut off.
I get the same result with $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].

How can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!

How does the "query string portion of the URL gets cut off"? Is it at a specific character or a certain variable? Maybe an example?

Actually, after some additional testing, it looks like it gets cut off when I use the GET method.
Then, the current query string portion gets replaced by the new one, eg it does not add up.

Ex:
current url = "www.site.com/script.php?var1=$var1"

if I use this form:
<form method="get" action="$PHP_SELF"
<input type="text" name="var2" value="$var2">
...
</form>

Then, the following page's url becomes:
"www.site.com/script.php?var2=$var2", eg I loose the var=$var1.

I thought PHP_SELF would keep the var1, but it doesn't...

$PHP_SELF is a defined variable that is filename of the executing script/file so it will not keep any added URL string when used.
