Passing a Variable to a URL

Defiler

I have the following code:

#Enter Ticket ID and Get Results
$tid = tid;
echo " <form method=\"POST\" action=\"index.php?action=view&ticket_id=$tid\">
<table border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\">
  <tr>
    <td width=\"100%\" valign=\"top\" align=\"left\" colspan=\"3\">$font Enter Ticket ID Number:&nbsp; <input type=\"text\" name=\"tid\" size=\"4\"><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Go\" name=\"tid\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"action\" value=\"tid\"> </td>
  </tr>
</table>
</form>";

I need to get the input from a user from a web page (Their Ticket Number) and when they press go it will display their Support Ticket.

This is what I have but it doesn't work of course. How can I get what they submit turned into a variable then sent back?

Thanks in advance.

Where is the page that does the processing?

All the code is in one file broken into sections of different actions.

I simply want whatever Number the user enters on the form to be put into the URL.

Ex.

User Enters 111 as number and presses the Button

Browser is refreshed to the URL:

index.php?action=view&ticket_id=111

your problem is you are mixing up form methods. you are sending your form elements via POST and additionally you want to send a GET variable. if you want to send everything as GET then do this:

<form action="index.php" method="GET">
Enter Ticket ID Number:
<input type="text" name="ticket_id">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="view">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go">
</form>
