how top use GET and POST simultaneusly

I have a page in php that gets from the url such as this code example

<form action="welcome.php" method="get">
//some interesting code here
</form>

The issue now is that when i do the GET depending on its value I need to do a POST,

How can I use action="get" and action="post" in the same page?, I am kind of new to PHP so I am not sure if I can use two tags ("i dont think so but please correct me if i am wrong").

PS: I am getting to the same page "welcome.php" and posting to itself again, and depending on the value I am going to show different content.

Thank you

You may access both through $_REQUEST if necessary. So no matter what your method type is, $_REQUEST will contain all of your submitted values. This way you don't need to determine whether it was by post, or by get that the data was submitted.

You will have to trap the $_GET value as a hidden var, so when the post is submitted again, your $_GET value will be available:

if (array_key_exists('myVar', $_GET)) {
    echo '<input type="hidden" name="myVar" value="' . $_GET['myVar'] .'" />
}

// Now when you resubmit the form you should have access to 'myVar'

echo $_REQUEST['myVar'];

You could also add the get value to the session super global:

if (array_key_exists('myVar', $_GET)) {
    $_SESSION['myVar'] = $_GET['myVar'];
}

// Now when you resubmit the form you should have access to 'myVar'

echo $_SESSION['myVar'];

Your question is a little unclear, but if I'm understanding it correctly, you can certainly pass GET variables via the form's action:

<form action="welcome.php?these=are&amp;get=variables" method="post">
//some interesting code here
</form>
