Instead of Form action and method

Question

<?php echo validation_errors(); ?>

<?php echo form_open('form'); ?>
    <input type="text" name="something" />
    <input type="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>

I find that there is no "action" and "method" as in

<form action="/application/controler/somepage.php" method="POST">
</form>

in which I would like to get the value entered in the text box after the button submit is pressed. How can I do the same (get the value submitted via POST or GET) as in the former ?

Also, in case I would like to get the value passed in the URL http://localhost/index.php/something?value=75&today=Wed

that is 75 and Wed, for example.

Answer 1

Try this:

echo form_open('controller/somepage', array('method'=>'get'));
