Text Box to go to ?key=

[teammist]

Could i do it so they can put the key in a text box on a seperate page, once they click "Submit" it will take them to mysite.com/dl.php?key=<TheKeyTheySubmitted>

[davidannis]

sure:

header ('Location: http://mysite.com/dl.php?key='.$_POST['keyfieldname']) ;

should work

[davidannis]

the first page would look like this:

<form action="http://mysite.com/myscript.php" method="POST">
Input your key: <input type="text" name="keyfieldname">
<input type="submit>
</form>

Form Code:

<form method="GET" action="dl.php">
Key: <input type="text" name="key" value="">
<input type="submit" value="Submit Key">
</form>

 

dl.php Code:

<?PHP

//### Preset valid key
//### Should set this from a database of keys or something
$validKey = 'CORRECTKEY';

//### Check to see if the $_GET key variable is present
if(isSet($_GET['key'])) {
$downloadKey = $_GET['key'];
} else {
$downloadKey = false;
}

//### Check to see if the download key matches valid key
if($downloadKey == $validKey) {
echo 'Key is valid.';
} else {
echo 'Key is not valid.';
}

?>
