Hi guys,

 

I want to create a piece of script that takes my users to a website based of there input in a form. Basiaclly what they input into a text field will become part of the URL used in action at the top of the form.

 

So it would look like this:

 

http://www."their input from form".mydomain.com

 

does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

 

Thanks

Use a simple post form...

 

<?php 

if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
header("Location: ".$_POST['whereto'].".mydomain.com");
}

?>
<form action="" method="post">
Where to:
<input type="text" name="whereto">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go there!">
</form>

 

Didn't do anything to secure it but that's essentially what you're looking for...
