Array from a file?

[Anon]

Ok, This is a little more up the lines for me. How would I go about creating an array that would do the following:

I have a form with a drop down box. Some of the things in the box are "cats, dogs, truck, car." If I make 2 different arrays (cats and dogs in one while truck and car in another) would I be able to redirect them to aother page?

NOTE: this is a small scale...the real arrays will have 20 somewad things in them.

So if they select 'cats' you want to redirect them to 'cats.php', etc.? Maybe if they select 'something weird' you want them to go to 'weirdness.php' (that's just to show that the page name might not be the same as what's selected).

$redirect_array=array(
'cats'=>'cats.php', //The first part is the form field sent back by the select element
'dogs'=>'dogs.php',
...
'something weird'=>'weirdness.php'
);

Assuming the select element is named "topage":

header('Location: '.$redirect_array[$_POST['topage']]);

Do you want the place that the data is sent to (ie <form action="url"> ) to change by what's chosen in the drop-down box?

If so, put an onChange() event in the <select> tag that calls a function which alters the form.action.value ..
