Short question: Any good way to view a forms querystring?

Question

I have a form which uses the "GET" method.

This might be a stupid question...

I would need to view the full querystring somehow, of the form when submitting it?

I have Firebug if that would help somehow...

Thanks

Answer 1

In PHP, you can use $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'].

In Firebug, it's a matter of going to the Network tab and selecting the request. The query string will be in the request line after the first ?.

Answer 2

You can use the window.location.search from javascript or $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] from php.

Answer 3

Personally, I use the FireFox extension Tamper Data for this. It's easy to use, and lets you change or view any piece of information about the request prior to its being submitted... I highly recommend it if you want to request parameters on the fly...

Answer 4

For the client side, here is a pretty decent article on parsing in Javascript:
