Okay... here is the dilemma.

I have a drop-down selection box in form tags using the method GET. It's all the US States, and each state sends a variable through GET in the URL... ie:

User selects 'California':
user is sent to URL: www.mysite.com/states.php?s=CA

Now under the list of all the states, I want a selection option to be "ALL STATES"... and if the user selects this, then I simply want them to be taken to URL:
www.mysite.com/states.php

NOT:
www.mysite.com/states.php?s=

..which is currently happening with this setup I have now. Eventhough it works, I don't want any GET variables passed in the URL.


<form action="states.php" method="get">
<p align="center"><strong>Select State:</strong>
<select name="s">
<option value="">View All States</option>....etc


Any idea how I can go about doing this??? MUCH APPRECIATION!!! Take care.

Google these words: form get clean urls.

All I am able to uncover with your suggestion is how to do Apache Mod Rewrite, which isn't what I'm really looking for.

if the form just for this purpose, try the following code:
<FORM>
<p align="center"><strong>Select State:</strong><SELECT NAME=URL onchange=window.location=this.options[selectedIndex].value>
<option value="http://www.mysite.com/states.php">View All States</option>
<option value="http://www.mysite.com/states.php?s=CA">California</option>
....etc
</SELECT></p>
</FROM>
