Username/Password Problem

This is my code

php Code:

Original - php Code
echo "<form action="inserted.php" method="POST">"; echo "Owner Username: "; echo "<input type="text" name="owner_val" size="20" maxlength="N" value="$owner"><br>n"; echo "Password           : "; echo "<input type="password" name="pw" size="20" maxlength="N"><br><br><br>";

 
echo "<form action="inserted.php" method="POST">";
echo "Owner Username: ";
echo "<input type="text" name="owner_val" size="20" maxlength="N" value="$owner"><br>n";
echo "Password&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;:&nbsp;";
        echo "<input type="password" name="pw" size="20" maxlength="N"><br><br><br>";

As you can see it is a basic HTML form code embedded within the echo command. My problem is when I use the password field.
When I type in a password and hit submit the data goes to a file called inserted.php which is specified in the code and on the location bar you have the password displayed like so:
http://localhost/inserted.php?owner_val=abc&pw=xyz

How do I stop it from showing the password on location bar?

Also, the above form code is in another file it is not in inserted.php

RE: Username/Password Problem

I dont see a closing form (</form>) tag, that could be the problem as using the POST method should not show any variables in the URL

RE: Username/Password Problem
