Say I have e.g: (foo.com/index.php?a=1) and a form on it to submit data, but when the submit is hit the url refreshes and it gets rid of the values from the attached.
How do I make the url on my page to stay same as before even when the sumbit button is clicked.
Thanks
Like this: action="yourpage.php?var1=value1&var2=value2". You can get these with PHP like so: $var1 = $_GET['var1'].
Example:
<form method="post" action="yourpage.php?var1=value1&var2=value2">
[...]
</form>
You can do this to add existing variables into the url:
<form method="post" action="yourpage.php?var1=<?php echo $_POST['var1'];?>&var2=<?php echo $_POST['var2'];?>">
[...]
</form>
<!-- Output:
<form method="post" action="yourpage.php?var1=value1&var2=value2">
[...]
</form>
-->
Change the form action in the HTML to post. i.e.:
<form action="..." method="post">
Assuming its a get at the moment. Then set action to your URL
