Concatenating a URL for a Form

[LRS46]

Hello,

I want to have an input field that a token is entered into and then added to the form action URL, but I am not real PHP savvy.

Something like this:

please enter your token: ___________

The user then enters the token

Then the POST url will be "

http://www.website.com/survey/index.php?sid=1&token=

token"

So if I enter token number 123456 then the URL will be:
"

http://www.website.com/survey/index.php?sid=1&token=

123456"

Is this real hard to do? I am not a programmer but I have to edit one page and make this work.

use an html form. set the action to the index.php page, set the method to get. put a text field called token inside the form and a submit button.

Thanks jpadie.

I tried that but it cuts off part of my URL. Instead of
"

http://www.website.com/survey/index.php?sid=1&token=123456"

I get:
"

http://www.website.com/survey/index.php?token=123456"

where the sid=1& is missing from the URL.

Here is my code:

[tt]<p>Please enter your token number from the letter you received: </p>
<form action="

http://www.website.com/survey/index.php?sid=1&"

method="get" name="token" >

<input name="token" type="text" size="15" maxlength="7">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>[/tt]

if you are using php sessions and the sid is the php session id normally php adds this in for you automatically. have you enabled trans_sid in the php.ini?

if you want to do this manually there are two options.

1. add the sid=1 to the action of the form. ie action="index.php?sid=1"
2. add a hidden field called sid to the form and preset its value using the html value attribute of its tag.
