I would like to generate a link to this website where certain parameters are already set. The trouble is: there are already parameters set in the URL (i.e., the pin code which identifies the dealership).
Here’s the URL to the form:
https://www.youcangetacar.com/formstep2.php?Pin=A186&Submit=Submit+To+Final+Step
I have tried the following.
https://www.youcangetacar.com/formstep2.php?Pin=A186&fname=ASDF&Submit=Submit+To+Final+Step
I’ve also tried adding it before the pin, after the submit. Do I have to set ALL the parameters for this to work? Do I have to specify the formset? I’ve seen this done using arrays; could that work?
Also, it should be noted that I do not have access to this web page.
Thanks for any tips, advice!
The order of parameters in the query string is not important, but as “blockhead” above says, you cannot pre-fill the page if its author has not allowed you to do so.
The PHP behind the page can generate the HTML form according to whatever logic the programmer chooses; it will not automatically pre-fill the input fields from the query string unless the code explicitly prints out that data.
It may be that the programmer behind that page just didn’t consider the possibility, or they may have deliberately avoided it for security or technical reasons.
