String Manipulation? --> newb

[biscutty]

Hi, could anyone help me with how to manipulate sring data from a form field and then forward to another page based on the string data?

I would like users to enter thier name into a form field ie. "Biscutty Wyler", i would like to then take the input string data and remove all white space and then change all characters to uppercase..

Then to forward the user to a directory on the webserver using the manipulated string data as the directory name?

the directory will already exist on the server, ie. it is created manually.

Also can the script check if the directory does not exist and return the user to the form?

Thanks all

Biscutty
