PHP Links

borden0108 · July 8, 2011

Hi all

wondering if you could help me

i need to have a html file that has a input box and a php that takes that input and then redirects the user to a site

for example the user puts in their id ( for this sake 7574746 in the input box) and then php takes them to the url http://examplesite.com/users/7574746/2011/timetable

my html code looks like this

<html>

<body>

Link: <input type="text" name="id" />

</form>

</body>

</html>

my php code

<html>

<body>

<?php

header("Location: http://www." + $_POST["id"] + ".com/");

?>

</body>

</html>

thanks

HTML page:

<html>
<body>
<form action="redirect.php" method="post">
Link: <input type="text" name="id" />
     <input type="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

PHP page:

<?php
$user_id = $_REQUEST['id'];
header('Location: http://www.example.com/users/'.$user_id.'/');
?>

Your redirect page only needs PHP -- if you have any HTML in it, it has to be below the header redirect, or it'll fail
