    <input type="text" name="textfield">
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Ga">
  </form>

Sorry.

I would like the user to fill in the website he likes to visit and to launch that website by submitting the form.

Sorry,
Jack

You can't really do that with the action. Change the action to redirector.php, and on redirector.php, just do this

<?
header("Location: ".$_POST['textfield']);
?>

I created the redirector.php but i get the warning:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output ....

LordShryku

Okay....so what other code did you put on that redirector page?

Jack2003

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
</head>

<body>
<?php

header("Location: ".$_POST['textfield']);

?>
</body>
</html>

But also if I make a complete blank page with only:

<?php

header("Location: ".$_POST['textfield']);

in it I get the same message?

The header function must have nothing at all before it. Your redirect page should just contain:

header("Location: ".$_POST['textfield']);

onyx

The reason you get the same error and nothing occuring with


<?php

header("Location: ".$_POST['textfield']);

?>

is due to having white space before the use of the header function. (ie a return charactor). Remove that and it should work.
