<?php
if(isset($_REQUEST['submit']))
{
$fdate = $_REQUEST['fdate'];
$sdate = $_REQUEST['sdate'];
$action = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?fdate=".$fdate."&sdate=".$sdate;
}
?>
<form action="<?php if(isset($action)){echo $action;} ?>" method="get">
<input type="text" name="fdate" />
<input type="text" name="sdate" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

i tried it with input type=button

<input type="button" name="submit" value="submit" />

but input type button doesnt submit the form and does nothing.

don’t give the button a name.

It is more usual to use method=“post”

if(isset($_REQUEST['submit']))

It is not.
HTTP protocol RFC clearly states that requesting data should be done with GET
