How to get a string value from typing and put in a address bar

[xbl12]

Hi;

How to get a string value from typing and put in a address bar.
For example, if i type javascript tutorial, and then click submit, the url in the adress bar will like "

http://www.xxxx.com/index.php?string=javascript+tutorial"

Could anyone can help me, please, thanks

<form action="index.php?" method="post">
search string: <input type="text" search="" />

<input type="submit" />
</form>

Just change the method of your form from POST to GET:

<form action="index.php?" method="[red]GET[/red]">
search string: <input type="text" search="" />

<input type="submit" />
</form>

The original suggestion by Phil was correct - it's just that your form HTML was invalid, as this:

<input type="text" search="" />

should be:

<input type="text" name="search" />

You should validate your HTML - this would have been spotted immediately.
