Form Forwarder

[Limit]

Is it possible to have a form on a webpage which would have part of a web address in it.

eg.. http://www.domain.tld/ FORM BOX HERE

then whatever is filled in the form box when they click it goes to

http://www.domain.tld/textinputtedonform


Is this possible?

Thanxs in advance

You should be able to do it with JavaScript. Something like this example:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--
function mySubmit(myForm) {
location.href = 'http://www.somewhere.com/someother.cgi?' +
'text1=' + escape(myForm.text1.value) +
'&' +
'text1=' + escape(myForm.text2.value);
}
//--></SCRIPT>

<FORM ACTION="http://www.somewhere.com/some.cgi">
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="text1" VALUE="value1">
<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="text2" VALUE="value2">

<INPUT TYPE="BUTTON" VALUE="Submit Extra!" onClick="mySubmit(this.form)">

<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Submit">
</FORM>

You can also do it with ASP, PHP or Cold Fusion.

Asp Example:

<%
Dim url
url = "page.asp/" & Request.Form("text_box")

Response.Redirect url
%>

There are too many ways to do this to show all examples. It would be helpful to know what programming language you are using.

Personally I would not rely on a user typing in the link/directory. It would be better to either use a drop down menu or radio button for selection unless you are using this for validation or authenication purposes.

Create your form page.

[code:1:d6f6a08557]<form action="redirect.php">
<input type="text" name="url">
<input type=submit>
</form>[/code:1:d6f6a08557]

Submit the page to the following script:

[code:1:d6f6a08557]<?php
$link = $_GET['url'];

header("Location: $link/index.php");
?>[/code:1:d6f6a08557]
Example: If you type image in the text box.

If you submit the form to:

[code:1:d6f6a08557]www.somewebsite.com/redirect.php[/code:1:d6f6a08557]

The page would redirect to:

[code:1:d6f6a08557]www.somewebsite.com/images/index.php[/code:1:d6f6a08557]

I saw the php example above and it almost like something I need. I want one that reads a a flat text file and returns the correct url.

A varable would be passed to redirect.php and redirect.php would get the correct url from a file and pass it on to the browser.

redirec.php?id=webmasterforum


Text file:

webmasterforum!http://www.internet-marketing-research.net/

Can this be done?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

You could try something like this.

[code:1:0fe7798b9b]<A href="http://www.domain_name.com/redirect.php?id=webmasterforum">redirect</a> [/code:1:0fe7798b9b]

submit page

[code:1:0fe7798b9b]<?php

$redirect = $_GET['id'];

if ($redirect == 'webmasterforum') {
header('location: http://www.domain1.com');
} else {
header('location: http://www.domain2.com');
}
?> [/code:1:0fe7798b9b]
