I have a form with many many fields…

When submitting these fields, I use the POST method which hides the actual variables passed along to the PHP page.

However, I can’t get rid of the complete link.

Changing from GET to POST did make all the form fields invisible in the URL, but this part is still visible:

 mydomain.com/bin/query#

I want it to be invisible, or say:

 mydomain.com/search

I have mod_rewrite enabled so there is a possibility to do this with mod_rewrite I think, but I am new to mod_rewrite so I need your help…

How should I hide this URL?

If you need more input let me know…

    When submitting a from you have to specify a action attribute for the form. I assume that your action is mydomain.com/bin/query# but you want it to be mydomain.com/search. Then you should use mydomain.com/search withing the action attibute and the following rewrite:

    RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^/search$ /bin/query [QSA,NC]

    That would show mydomain.com/serach in the browsers URL.

    EDIT: Using the QSA flag you can pass GET paremeters to your query script. The NC makes the rewrite case-insensitive.

    Your form should look like this:

    <form action="/search" method="post">
...
</form>
