HTML Form: why action can't have get value in it?

Question

When i try the following structure, it does\'t send id=value

Answer 1

Specifying values in the action URI will have no effect, as the values in the URI will get overridden. To demonstrate, try the HTML and PHP code below. The form_test.html file could be renamed, but obviously, the PHP script needs to be named regurgitate.php (or the action in the form needs to be edited).

form_test.html:

regurgitate.php:

\n";

foreach ($_GET as $k) {
  echo "\$_GET['$k']: >" . $_GET["$k"] . "<
\n";
}

?>

When the submit button is clicked on form_test.html, the URL in my browser becomes something like:

http://www.example.com/regurgitate.php?Submit=Submit+Query&test=test

Note there's no "id=value" in the URL.

The output is:

In regurgitate.php
$_GET['Submit Query']: ><
$_GET['test']: >test<
