Redirection via form input

[Anon]

Ok, this question is coming from a real PHP newbie....I searched the forums and I didn't find anything I could really use. I'm sure this is really simple to do, but as I said, I'm a newbie at this....

Basically what I'd like to do is take a simple form (a single text field) and based on what a user types into the form and submits, he is redirected to a specific URL. In other words, if the user types in "dog" and submits the form, they get redirected to dog.html, and so on.

I found a script called Floodgate that does this type of redirection based on a list of keywords (each associated with a certain URL), but I'm not sure at all how to use it...any help with this would be MUCH appreciated!

asuuming that the form field is called name="sendto"

on the recieving page at the very top - no whitespace before <?

<?header("location:$sendto.htm");?>

you may wish to first loop through a number of possibles first??

<?
$pages = array ("dog", "cat", "yak", "wombat");
if (in_array ($sendto, $pages))
{
header("location:$sendto.htm");
}else{?>
sorry that page does not exist etc etc.
<?}?>
