He is just re-asking his question for help with his warez site again. This topic should be closed.

i am not asking this question for the warez site, i plan to make a site in whitch i can display major search engine results, simply on my page, this is not like the other idea for the warez search

I think we should put the 'Warez' issues behind us for now, and maybe Hansman will think twice before posting content like that again.. Benefit of the doubt time...

OK, so what do you mean by header?

[code]<?
header ("Location: http://www.google.com/search?q=".urlencode($_GET['xyz']));
?>[/code]

Why not have something like this...

HTML Page (Not sure the syntax is exact):
[code]
<form name="search" method="GET" action="search.php">
<select name="engine">
  <option name="google">Google.com</option>
  <option name="yahoo">Yahoo.com</option>
</select>
<input type="text" name="string">
</form>
[/code]

This calls search.php which looks like this
[code]
<?php
  $engine = urlencode($_GET['engine']);
  $string = urlencode($_GET['string']);

  if ($engine == "google"){
      $url = "http://www.google.com/search?q=$string";
  }
  elseif ($engine == "yahoo"){
      $url = "http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=$string";
  }

  header("Location: $url");
?>[/code]

Should work a treat.

My bad... I put the wrong values in the php if condition

[code]
<?php
  $engine = urlencode($_GET['engine']);
  $string = urlencode($_GET['string']);

  if ($engine == "Google.com"){
      $url = "http://www.google.com/search?q=$string";
  }
  elseif ($engine == "Yahoo.com"){
      $url = "http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=$string";
  }

  header("Location: $url");
?>
[/code]
