Form Action URL Question

Hi,
I'm new to Codeigniter4. And I have a question about something that I don't understand.
First let me say that the tool bar above is difficult to make out even at 120%, the left most icons are difficult to see. But we'll live with it as-is for now.

I created a form that has an action parameter as follows... 

Code:

<form action="<?= base_url() ?>/users/store">

and the resulting action arrives in the correct controller and method, but the URL has a trailing question mark, as follows...

Code:

http://localhost/ci4/users/store? 

 <= where does this question mark come from? 

Ask me questions if needed, I am more than happy to provide more information.
Thanks,
Charles.

Did you end your app/Config/App.php base_url with a forward / ?

It could also be the url protocol setting try changing it to another one.

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

What is your form method? Post or get?

the way i use form is to include bootstrap layout and submit to a route .

eg

Code:

<?=form_open('contact') ?>

     <div class="form-group">
            <label for="name">Your Email </label>
             <input type="email" class="form-control" id="theirEmail" name ="email" placeholder=" " required ="true">
             </div>


etc etc

   <input type="submit" name="submit" class="btn btn-info"value="submit" />
<?php echo form_close();?>

// i've got <?= csrf_field() ?>   in my form as well but won't complicate it for you

in routes.php i have

Code:

$routes->post('contact','Sendmail::processform');

in the post i'm defining "POST" rather than "GET" get requests usually have a ? in url , so maybe thats something to do with yours .
in the above i'm saying that any FORM POST directed to "contact" will invoke the above & be dealt with a controller called Sendmail and its method processform.



In your controller you can get all the values a web surfer has entered into a form and process then any way you want. In my case some checking/filtering goes on and then if Ok i get sent the values to my email address.
