Try writing it like this;

<form action='<?php echo $url . "?resendpassword=1&send=1"; ?>' method='post'>

Or

<form action='<?php echo $url;?>?resendpassword=1&send=1' method='post'>

The other suggestions here are fine, but I think this may be even better:

<form action='<?php echo $url ?>?resendpassword=1&send=1;' method='post'>

You need to concatenate URL first and then don't forget to escape (& is special character in HTML so without escaping it would produce incorrect HTML):

<form action='<?php echo htmlspecialchars("$url?resendpassword=1&send=1"); ?>' method='post'>
