clean url on search submit button - El Forum - 11-15-2010

[eluser]Arun Joshi[/eluser]
Hi All,

I have a search box in a form, I want to create a url like

Code:
mysite.com/search/srchtext/abc

Code:
mysite.com/search/abc

. Here abc is the text to find. My form method is get and button type is submit. Now when I click my submit button, the url is ?srchtext=abc&btnsrch;= .

I believe this is controlled by the browser, not CodeIgniter. I'd say switch the method from "get" to "post" and handle the submission using $this->input->post('srchtext'); etc.

Is there a specific reason you are needing to use the get method?
