Form > URL change help

[conker87]

Hey guys. I'm reorganising my site, which also means I'm doing some mod_rewriting. Now that makes it all nice and pretty, but doesn't bode well for searches. I'm using a simple text box and button for this. However my search url is now: /search/<search> rather than ?search=<search>

 

My question is, is there anyway using PHP to change the url the form submits to?

You know, come to think of it, this would probably be more Javascript's field. Google has bought up awfully complicated ways of doing this.

Assuming you created correct rewrite rules, you would still access the search term via $_GET['search'], no matter what the URL looks like.

Aye, I know. But I wanted to change where the search form submitted to. I did a little header redirection, I'm not sure if it's the best course of action, but ti works none the less.

if (sanitise($_POST['search'])) header("Location: /search/" . sanitise($_POST['search']));
