How to hide get and post parameters from the URL?

Question

I have created a script that posts a value for a certain variable.

HTML:

<form action="post" action="func.php">
       <input name="name"></input>
</form>

func.php:

<?php
  $name = $_GET['name'];
  echo $name;
?>

Output:

Divya Mamgai

But when I check the URL in the address bar I see this:

http://.....func.php?name=Divya%20Mamgai

How can I remove that ?name=Divya%20Mamgai bit from the address bar?

Answer 1

Set your form to method "post". This causes the form to transmit data to the server in the HTTP request body instead of using the URL.

<form action="func.php" method="post">
  <input name="name"></input>
</form>

And then use the $_POST superglobal in PHP:

<?php
  $name = $_POST['name'];
  echo $name;
?>
