Can i send values with both POST & GET

mikawhat

Is it possible to submit values from a form using both POST and GET? Something like this:

<form action="#" enctype="text/plain" name="form" method="POST">
<input class="z" name="name" type="text">
<a " href="<?php $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>?p=contact&sent=true" onclick="document.form.submit();"
 class="w"><strong>submit</strong></a>
</form>

i need to get:
$p = $_GET['p'];
$sent = $GET['sent'];
$name = $POST['name'];

this code outputs NOT WORKING

if (isset($_GET['sent'])) {
  if (isset($_POST['name'])) {
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $email = $_POST['email'];
    $message = $_POST['message'];
    echo "$name - $email - $message";			
  } else {
    echo "NOT WORKING";
  }
include ('includes/footer.inc.php');
exit();
}

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
?>?p=contact&sent=true" enctype="text/plain" name="form" method="POST">
<input class="z" name="name" type="text">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">

</form>

Wouldn't it be easier to just have some hidden form fields?

And just out of curiosity, is there any particular reason for the "text/plain" enctype?

Yeah that's an option too. I just created my whole php script using $_GET. I tried sending the form with GET but foa some reason it didn't work.

I don't really know. Isn't that necessary?

The default (if no other is specified) is application/x-www-form-urlencoded. That's generally good enough (it doesn't work too good for file uploads, but there aren't any of those here).
