Re: How do you read one of these parameters?

I may be looking at this problem from the wrong direction but if your form method is a post you will not see the parameters in the url, if your form method is a get you will. examples: <form method="POST" action="test.php"> <input type="HIDDEN" name="x" value="yes"> example url: http://www.something.com/test.php <form method="GET" action="test.php"> <input type="HIDDEN" name="x" value="yes"> example url: http://www.something.com/test.php?x=yes Sorry if I am note getting the problem. -Blake On Fri, 11 Feb 2005 11:16:17 -0500, Robert Cummings <robert@interjinn.com> wrote: > On Thu, 2005-02-10 at 19:28, Brian Dunning wrote: > > I see URLs formatted like this: > > > > http://tinyurl.com/xyz > > > > How do you read that "xyz," since there's no "/?x=" preceding it? > > Is it > > not a get parameter? > > It means the hosting webserver either does a URL rewrite for the > receiver application, or the receiver application parses the URL itself. > In either case the developer then assigns the value to a variable of > their choice.
