How do I clear $_GET from my url?
Hi,
Bit tricky to explain... I have a script which when submited, will return to the same page with the $_GET variables. If I submit the page again, I need it to forget the original variables and replace the url with the new variables.
So the url might look like http://www.mysite.com?id=123&price=1099
When i resubmit the form with different variables, e.g. ID = 567 & Price = 2083 i want the url to look like: http://www.mysite.com?id=567&price=2083
However what actually comes up is http://www.mysite.com?id=567&price=2083&id=123&price=1099.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Also, could I suggest you to use POST method instead of GET ?
POST method has some advantages, such as hidding the variable values from the URL, which is more secure.

Just completely remove the action="" section of your form tag.
The form wil then submit to the root file address without the query string.

@chrisstanyon - you are write in the dynamic form. the code i have is below.
<?php
mysql_select_db($database_bookedy, $bookedy);
$query_emergency = "SELECT * FROM emergency";
$emergency = mysql_query($query_emergency, $bookedy) or die(mysql_error());
$row_emergency = mysql_fetch_assoc($emergency);
$totalRows_emergency = mysql_num_rows($emergency);
$colname_booking = "-1";
if (isset($_GET['id'])) {
$colname_booking = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $_GET['id'] : addslashes($_GET['id']);
}
mysql_select_db($database_bookedy, $bookedy);
$query_booking = sprintf("SELECT * FROM booking WHERE bookingid = %s", $colname_booking);
$booking = mysql_query($query_booking, $bookedy) or die(mysql_error());
$row_booking = mysql_fetch_assoc($booking);
$totalRows_booking = mysql_num_rows($booking);
?>
<?php $bookingid = $row_booking['bookingid']; ?>
<?php
$paxno = $_GET['pax']+1;
$paxget = $_GET['pax'];
unset($_GET);
if ($row_booking['pax']==$paxget) {
$nexturl = "https://www.bookedy.com/booking/step3.php?id=$bookingid";
$button = "2";

I actually worked out a completly different method by taking the total number of columns found and it's worked but thanks for your help!
Check on how you're setting the form action, and you mind find your problem.
Without seeing code, it's difficult to be precise.
