form to url parameter

[vinny199]

Hi,

I'm stuck trying to do the following:

I have a form in which i need the user to enter a "code number" in the text field: "did"

when the user click submit button, I need the value they have entered in the did textfiled to be parsed as a url value

My form action should do something like:

action="download4.php?did="entered form value""

do you know what I mean?

here is the form,

hopw you can help,

thanks,
vinny

  <form name="form1" method="post" action="download4.php?did=$ entered did value">
                <table width="400" border="0" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3">
                  <tr> 
                    <td width="93">code number</td>
                    <td width="166"><input type="text" name="did"></td>
                    <td width="111"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"></td>
                  </tr>
                </table>
              </form>

Hi,

change the method of the form to get. That will submit the id as get parameter.

<form name="form1" method="get" action="download4.php">

and inside download4.php use $_GET['did'] to access the value

Or use

<form name="form1" method="post" action="download4.php">

and inside download4.php use $_POST['did'] to access the value.
