Form Problem

ojsimon

Hi
I am making a search form that returns the word that the user searched as an experiment, this is the code i am using on index.html

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <html>

<body>
 
<center><form action="welcome.php" method="post">

<input type="text" size="40"  name="name" /></center>
 
<center><input type="submit" value="Search" /></center>

</form>
 
</html>

Then for the second page welcome.php i am using

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<?php echo $_POST["name"]; ?>

What i want is firstly for what the user searches to be in the url for example in a google search for php http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...e+Search&meta= php is in the url how can i make mine so it is /search?PHP for example?

Also how can i make it so on the second page the search box is there?

Thanks

Then on the server side catching script
$_GET['name']
