How to preserve GET parameters when posting form to self?
forms, get, html, php, post
Solution
You need to use hidden input instead:
<input type="hidden" name="first" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($first, ENT_QUOTES); ?>" />
Problem
I have a URL with one GET parameter. I am trying to post a simple form, basically to simply add one more GET parameter to the URL. Current URL: mysite.com/page.php?first=123 Form HTML: ``` <?php $first = $_GET['first']; ?> <form method="get" action="page.php?first=<?php echo $first; ?>"> <input type="text" name="second"><br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"><br> </form> ``` I'm trying to get the URL to be: mysite.com/page.php?first=123&second=456 However, when submitting the form, the page URL drops the first GET parameter and changes to: mysite.com/page.php?second=456 How can I submit this form and add the second GET parameter to add onto the end of the URL after the first already existing GET parameter? Thanks
