I have a form with GET method with some inputs like this:

<input type="text" name="something">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Click here to submit form">

I don't want the url to bee

mypage.php?something=value&submit=Click+here+to+submit+form 

I want to suppress the submit parameter in the url (should be like this: mypage.php?something=value).

I need only GET method please don't mention POST method. Also you may mention to remove name="submit" but i need it also to identify this submit.

Also if there is a input from which is empty i don't want to show

<input type="text" name="input1">
<input type="text" name="input2">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Click here to submit form">

input1 gets value but if input2 doesn't have value the i want url like mypage.php?input1=value

Thanks

• 3 What is the technical limitation that is preventing you from utilizing POST? – esqew Commented Mar 27, 2014 at 20:52
• You can do it using javascript. Have the submit button outside the form, and when submit is clicked, using javascript submit the form. – dewd Commented Mar 27, 2014 at 20:54
• Is possible hidden value if field is empty with javascript, but if you need to get value from submit button, is not possible to hidden this value. – gabrieloliveira Commented Mar 27, 2014 at 20:59

If you don't want the submit parameter to show up in your GET request URL, don't give it a name, and instead use id or class to identify it uniquely:

<input type="submit" id="submit" value="Click here to submit form">

I would remove form submit the and just turn it into a button. Then I would use jquery to submit the form and do any logic processing.

<input type="test" id="favoriteCheese" value="nacho" />
<button id="submit" value="Click here to submit form">Click here to submit form</button>

$("#submit").on('click', function () {
    var data = {};
    var favCheese = $("#favCheese").val();
    if(favCheese.length > 0) {
        data.favCheese = favCheese
    }
    $.ajax({
        url : ".../mypage.php",
        data : data,
        type : 'GET',
        ...
    })
})
