How to use a passed URL variable in a FORM method=POST?

[gabemcmillan]

Hi,

I have a variable that I pass through a URL. Once I get it to the page I want to use it as a variable for search criteria on a form.

My problem is I can receive the variable fine with a $_REQUEST['var name'] , but when I hit the submit button, which posts back to the same page, it erases the contents of my variable. Is there anyway I can keep that variable without it erasing?

Why not use <input type="text" name="blah" value="{$_GET['var']}">
