[RESOLVED] Form submit

newbtophp

Im trying to create a form which when you enter a website in the field and hit submit it will open the following url:

http://www.mysite.com/at/index.php?url=www.website.com

	<form action="http://www.mysite.com/at/index.php?url=" method="post">

<table>
<input type="hidden" name="on2" value="Website">[B]Website:[/B]</td></tr><tr><td><input type="text" name="os2" maxlength="60">
</table>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" alt="">
</form>

Can someone help?

Thanks

if you use GET method in the form, your url variable will automatically inserted into the url.

Your welcome,

another option should be:
once you have posted the form, you can check if that url is a valid url with preg_match() , then redirect with header() location.

header()
preg_match()

Thanks again, I'm a beginner with php since I registered at these forums, I've learnt loads. You are all soo helpful, especially when you taught me the $_POST function.

$_POST is a variable <-- explanations.
