PHP Send query string with button

I have a form for searching products which will be visible in each page. When the search button is clicked it will redirect to a search.php page. I want to send a query string (parameter) with the content of the search text box when the button is clicked. The code for the form is simple, but here it is:

<form method="post" action="search.php">
    <input type="text" id="txtSearch" name="txtSearch" class="searchInput" value="" />
    <input type="submit" id="btnSubmit" name="btnSubmit" value="Search" ?>'" />
</form>

I want that when clicked this will redirect to search.php?q=txtSearch. Thanks.

<form method="post" action="search.php?q=txtSearch">
    <input type="text" id="txtSearch" name="txtSearch" class="searchInput" value="" />
    <input type="submit" id="btnSubmit" name="btnSubmit" value="Search" />
</form>

This way submitting the form you'll be redirect to search.php?q=txtSearch and from php you can get the $_POST variable so

$_POST['txtSearch'] $_POST['btnSubmit']

use :

<form method="get" action="search.php">
    <input type="text" id="txtSearch" name="q" class="searchInput" value="" />
    <input type="submit" id="btnSubmit" name="btnSubmit" value="Search" />
</form>

Just use GET instead of POST

<form method="get" action="search.php">

The name of the fields will be the name of the querystring variable. Like this:

?input_name=input_value

Change "POST" to "GET" on the form element and change the input name parameter to "q".
