Simple redirect based on entry

[John44281]

Hi

This should be pretty simple but I can't figure it out. 

 

I want to create and simple forward to different URL based on the user entry.

 

For example..

If they enter ABC in the box they go to www.11.com

if they enter ZXC in the box they go to www.22.com

if they enter CCC they go to www.33.com

If they enter anything else they get an error message.

 

Thanks for any help!!

So what have you tried?  It's much easier to help you when we see what the code currently looks like.  It could be something simple like a switch based upon the incoming value and a switch construct to execute the appropriate header() call but we can't tell unless see a bit more since your explanation wasn't completely clear, ie "create and simple forward".

How about something altogether simpler and more user-friendly: 

<a href='www.11.com'>ABC</a>
<a href='www.22.com'>ZXC</a>
<a href='www.33.com'>CCC</a>

No need for "error messages" at all.

Only give the Users options for things that they're allowed to do.
