This form works well in choosing a season and an episode with my php handling script:
<form action="view" method="get">
<font color="white">Season:</font><select name="s">
<option id="s" value="1">1</option>
</select>
<font color="white">Episode: </font><select name="e">
<option id="e" value="1">1</option>
<option id="e" value="2">2</option>
<option id="e" value="3">3</option>
<option id="e" value="4">4</option>
<option id="e" value="5">5</option>
<option id="e" value="6">6</option>
<option id="e" value="7">7</option>
<option id="e" value="8">8</option>
<option id="e" value="9">9</option>
<option id="e" value="10">10</option>
<option id="e" value="11">11</option>
<option id="e" value="12">12</option>
<option id="e" value="13">13</option>
<option id="e" value="14">14</option>
<option id="e" value="15">15</option>
<option id="e" value="16">16</option>
<option id="e" value="17">17</option>
<option id="e" value="18">18</option>
<option id="e" value="19">19</option>
<option id="e" value="20">20</option>
<option id="e" value="21">21</option>
<option id="e" value="22">22</option>
<option id="e" value="23">23</option>
<option id="e" value="24">24</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="GO">
</form>
So, can anyone tell me why this form won't work to pick a random episode?
<form action="view" method="get">
<input type="hidden" id="s" value="1">
<input type="hidden" id="e" value="<?php echo(rand(1,24)); ?>">
<input type="submit" value="Watch Random Episode">
</form>
It won't append the variables to the end of the url, all I get is this:
http://127.0.0.1/media/show/view/?
The hidden inputs need a name attribute. In the same way that the select elements have a name..
<input type="hidden" name="s" id="s" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="e" id="e" value="<?php echo(rand(1,24)); ?>">
First you need to define name attribute to each field and one space to echo and print value
<input type="hidden" id="s" value="1" name ="s">
<input type="hidden" id="e" name = "e" value="<?php echo rand(1,24); ?>">
Second check you have htaccess [QSA] also with rules
Try something like this :
<?php
$ep = rand(1,24);
echo $ep;
?>
<form action="view" method="get">
<input type="hidden" id="s" value="1">
<input type="hidden" id="e" name="e" value="<?php echo $ep; ?>">
<input type="submit" value="Watch Random Episode">
</form>
