Form Submit changes url variable

ridesign1 · 03-15-2006, 02:28 PM

Hi,
Is it possible to create a page where a user would type in a number in a box and press submit e.g. 12

and then it goes to the url: http://www.newdesignworld.com/browse-12.html

Any code would be great

thanks

I would do this:

<form action="redirect.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="page" value="123" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

then on redirect.php:

PHP Code:

  <?php

$page = $_POST['page'];

settype($page,"integer");

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/programming/177104-form-submit-changes-url-variable.html
header("Location: http://www.newdesignworld.com/browse-".$page.".html");

?>

You might be able to do it with javascript, not needing a php page. I'll try making something...

edit:
Haven't tested, but should work:

Code:

<script>
function doSomething (form) {
var pageNum = parseInt(form.page.value);
window.location = "http://www.newdesignworld.com/browse-" + pageNum + ".html";
}
</script>
<form action="" method="post">
<input type="text" name="page" value="123" />
<input type="submit" onClick="doSomething(this.form);" />
</form>

thanks jim,
the first one worked using the php file, but with the 2nd one, i added that to a page but it just comes back to the same page.

try adding onsubmit="this.disable=true;" to the <form> tag on the javascript version.

Maybe instead of:
var pageNum = parseInt(form.page.value);
use
var pageNum = parseInt(getElementById('page').value);

and add id="page" to the input.
