Button-hyperlink and PHP variables.

[opt_inf_env]

Hello,

anybody know why the following button

<form action="newpage.php?id=3">
<input type="submit" value="Cancel">
</form>
loads "newpage.php?" (not "newpage.php?id=3")?

Some browsers do not support url parameters in form actions -- I think
it's officially not supposed to.

You're supposed to do this instead:

<form action="newpage.php">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="3">
<input type="submit" value="Cancel">
</form>

I noticed that Message-ID: <i0********************************@4ax.com>
from Wayne contained the following:

<form action="newpage.php">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="3">
<input type="submit" value="Cancel">
</form>

shouldn't that be

<form action="newpage.php" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="3">
<input type="submit" value="Cancel">
</form>

Arguably! though 'method' defaults to GET anyway. I don't see
why you wouldn't put it in.

Ok, have you run any tests?
-- I think it's officially not supposed to.

Well, the HTML spec merely restricts 'action' to a URI.
There's nothing wrong with having a query part in a URI,
though following the procedures set out in the spec you could
get some surprising results here!

are you checking the value of $_GET["id"]?

Maybe?

<form action="newpage.php&amp;id=3">

(Note: not tried).
