Form variable

[Jack2003]

Hi,

I like to start a PHP page with a parameter that the user has to fill in in a Form field.

E.g.:
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
<input name="Category" type="text" id="Category">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>

If the user enters the word 'Car' in the formfield I would like after submitting the Form to call the URL: http://www.anyurl.com/find.php?Category=Car

Who can help?

Thanks in advance,
Jack

You don't need to pass the parameter in the url. Do the following:

<form name="form1" method="post" action="http://www.anyurl.com/find.php">
<input name="Category" type="text" id="Category">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Then in your find.php script:

$Category = $_POST['Category'];

IF you wanted it to go through the URL you shold just use get instead of post............
