php - How Do I Clear $_GET Variables with "href"?

Question

I have an a tag on my search results page (www.mysite.com/?search=test). I would like to simply refresh the page and remove all the $_GET variables from the URL by clicking the <a> link. Right now I am achieving this with a simple <a href="?"> but that still leaves the URL with a question mark: www.mysite.com/?.

Is it possible to have an <a> tag simply clear these variables completely? Or am I stuck with the question mark.

You can try something like this:

<a href="{$_SERVER['REQUEST_SCHEME']}://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}{$_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL']}">Reset search</a>
