Hello all. This is a strange request, but is there a way of creating a Form
Text Field that when you enter a directory name eg: tempdirectory and press
enter, it will transfer you to http://www.my-domain.com/tempdirectory? Is it
best to direct the form (Action) to a php file and run a script there
(something like http://www.my-domain.com/[?textfield?]/index.htm? - please
don?t laugh, the logic is there!) If so, how should I create the script? I'm
running PHP. I?m aware that we can enter it directly into the address bar at
the top; I?m just experimenting! Thank you for your time. Darren.

Someone would have to help you with the actual PHP code, but the logic would
be:

on submit
grab form field
redirect page to 'www.mysite.com/' + formFieldString

Though, I'm not sure what, exactly, you'd use this for.

Thanks Darrel, but how do I '+ formFieldString'? I'm not sure where/how to enter this!

Thank you.

Wouldn't that just be [a href='www.my-domain.com' + myField]button[/a]?

<form name="form1" method="post" action="myscript.php">
<input type="text" name="textfield">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>

And in myscript.php:

<?php
$mylocation = "http://www.example.com/" . $_POST['textfield'] . "/";
header("Location: $mylocation");
?>
