changing url

[chrisleon]

I want to have a user input a customer number, and when they click submit, have it direct them to a folder residing on my web server that is customer number specific.

ie.

login form is http://www.anywhere.com/login.php

they type in 067351 and click submit and it is now directed to

http://www.anywhere.com/067351/

how is this possible. What is the syntax

I beleive you could do it by inserting this in a META refresh tag.. might not work, but give it a shot... url="http://www.anywhere.com/<? $userid ?>"

The refresh would have to eb oustide PHP tags
and the page would need to be called by login2.php?userid=67012 or by using sessions.

Probably the easiest way is to change your have your HTML form feed to a PHP script (login.php) that uses the header command. Something to the effect of

<?

$UserId = $HTTP_POST_VAR['id'];

header("Location: /$userId/")

?>

Play with it, it'll get you there.

I've never gotten the Location header to work (any tips?), so I prefer the META tag.
