You mean you want to go to where you would go by pressing the submit button, but just typing in the url? Well the way html forms with, when its using PHP anyways, is it is sending the information in the html form to a php page to interpret it with php. So in the script it will say on of the following:
Quote:
|
<form method="GET" action="somepage.php">
|
OR
Quote:
|
<form method="POST" action="somepage.php">
|
In the first method, the GET method, information is sent by the url. So if there is a spot on the form for name, and you enter "Richard" then in the url it would be something like this:
website.com/somepage.php?name="Richard"
So if you wanted to submit a form without going to the actual form and pressing the submit button you could just enter in the information to the end of the url, but only if it uses the GET method.
Why you would want to do this is beyond me.
