Adding field to form in HTMl and PHP

I have a form in html with php code inside which looks like this

<form name="category" action="search.php" method="get" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <select class="form-control2" name="category_name" id="category_name" onchange="category.submit();">
    <option value="0">Select Category</option>
      <?php while($cat_data=mysql_fetch_array($cat_res)){?>
      <option value="<?php echo $cat_data['Category_Name'] ?>"><?php echo $cat_data['Category_Name'] ?></option>
      <?php }?>
    </select>
</form>

With this I get URL like

 /search.php?category_name=USA

I want to add another field in URL so the URL look like

/search.php?cat_name=1&category_name=USA

This field cat_name must be updated from mysql and not from form in real time depending what option is selected. Is it possible in php and html

Use hidden input field in the form

<form name="category" action="search.php" method="get" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="hidden" name="name" value="1" />
</form>

Just add a hidden input field before your closing form tag

<input type="hidden" name="cat_name" value="<?php echo cat_name; ?>" />

Two possible solutions - first add query string in action of form

<form name="category" action="search.php?cat_name=1"
 method="get" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Alternatively , append a input type hidden or as you need .

<form name="category" action="search.php" method="get" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <select class="form-control2" name="category_name" id="category_name" onchange="category.submit();">
    <option value="0">Select Category</option>
      <?php while($cat_data=mysql_fetch_array($cat_res)){?>
      <option value="<?php echo $cat_data['Category_Name'] ?>"><?php echo $cat_data['Category_Name'] ?></option>
      <?php }?>
    </select>
<input type="hidden" name="cat_name" value="1" />
</form>
