Form action not working like I think it should

Question

I have a form action like this:

<form id="comment" name="comment" action="delivery_add_comment_submit.php?jobno=<?php $jobno?>">

but when I go to the page the url is this:

http://10.10.0.2/portal2/delivery_add_comment_submit.php?txtCommentor=bhunt&txtComment=lkn%3Bk&submit=Add+Comment

I am switching from ASP to PHP so not sure if there is something different I need to be aware of. Is PHP automatically adding the form information to the URL? Can I not add ?jobno=" to the end of an action?

in this case there is no different between asp or php. they all use html for forms .... — Amir Hossein Baghernezad, Sep 16 '15 at 15:04

As you are not defining a method in your form, it defaults to GET.

Update the form to

<form id="comment" name="comment" action="delivery_add_comment_submit.php?jobno=<?php $jobno?>" method="post">

Thanks. I kinda just figured that out. I used the POST method. – RGF Drone Sep 16 '15 at 15:05
