About Form Query String
Hello. I have form that contains an input field (Screen) whose name contains an upper-case letter.
Code HTML4Strict:

<html> <head></head> <body> <form action="http://localhost/example.php" method="get" name="form" id="form"> <input value="medium" name="Screen" id="screen"/> <button name="upload" type="submit">Upload</button> </form> </body> </html>
So when sent the query is composed as:

http://localhost/example.php?Screen=medium&upload=

Although it works without problem, I want to ask that an upper-case in query string is valid or not?

Thanks.

Doesn't matter if it's upper case, but it's better to be consistent - either Capitalize or lowercase.

a lot of people get into the habit of leaving the first letter lower case, and if there are two words, capitalizing the first letter of the second word.

Yes, it's perfectly valid.

yes, that's called camelCase but it isn't typically used unless it's actual programming - though there are exceptions where front end devs use it, it's a rarity for form name values.
