want to submit a form with name and quantity but i want to pass a get variable to the form without input. When the form is submitted the get variable for quantity is pass but i want also to pass the name quantity which is displayed already. Can i do this either through action="site.php?name=theName" or how can i do this.
"<"form action='site.php?name={$name_row['name']}' method='GET'>
Using GET method in forms is not recommended, maybe you want to use hidden inputs?
<form action='site.php' method='POST'>
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="<?=$name_row['name']?>">
</form>
You can use it with GET too
If you don't want the variable passed to be displayed, you can use a hidden input:
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="<?php echo $_GET['name'] ?>"/>
If you don't want to use any input, of course you can pass them in form action:
<form action="somewhere.php?name="<?php echo $_GET['name'] ?>" method="post">
You have 3 most popular methods
i. Input type hidden
<input type='hidden' name='name' value='<?=$variabel?>'>
ii. Add on form GET method
<form action='site.php?xyz=<?=$variabel?>'>
</form>
iii. User $_SESSION
<?php $_SESSION['xyz'] = variabel; ?>
<input type="hidden" name="name" value="<?= $name_row['name']?>" />
