$_GET question

[Lionel]

Is there a way to avoid long url display in browser's address bar while using $_GET whether in a form method with hidden input or in a direct url? I am ending up with:

PHP Code:

?do=predict&gameid=00000113&t1=Netherlands%20Antilles&t2=US%20Virgin%20Islands&d=2006-03-29&t=20:00&l=Willemstad&g=Group%20C&tid1=0122&tid2=0123&cid=0010&s=000000000016&u=4 


it does the job, but is very inelegant.

No way with GET. Why not use POST?

Yeah using Post will solve your problem, since it doesn't hold the information in the urls.

I have a page named interschedule.php that displays an entire schedule.

I tried post, for some reason it displaying the same original page and the requested page (which is part of interschedule.php) at the bottom

here is the idea, when you click on predict it takes me to the right page. With post, I get the original page on top and also that requested page.

I got it. I had to change that line for the main page from

PHP Code:

if (empty($_GET['do'])) 


to

PHP Code:

 if (empty($_POST['do'])) 


edit again. I made it

PHP Code:

if (empty($_REQUEST['do'])) 


And also if your using this with vbulletin please take note of this:
