<form id="form" name="form" method="post" action="/">
<input name="field" id="textfield" value="Foldername" type="text">

    try adding a "/" to the folder name.

    
action="../folder/"
    Code (markup):
    and have an index.php (or index.html) file in that folder handle the request.

    hm, that doesn't seem to work.. my index.php handles the request, so i still get /?Field=Folder1345


    any more ideas?

    Thx

    In the .htaccess file add the following:

    
php_flag register_globals on
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^folder-(.*)$ index.php?Field=$some_var [QSA]
    Code (markup):
    The $some_var should be the same as the one in your php script.

    The will give the effect of sending the form to the folder but you are really sending it a script. This is also more search engine friendly.

    Looking at your code you made a mistake in the image button code.
    <input type="image" alt="Button" src="/images/button.jpg" />
    Code (markup):
    is meant to look like this:
    <input type="image" name="submit" alt="Button" src="/images/button.jpg" />
    Code (markup):
    I think that should work... And I'm guessing the x=0&y=0 are because of the code but I'm not 100% on that...

    If that fails just change the code to:

    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
    Code (markup):

    ok create a .htaccess file and put the following in it:

    
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*)$ index.php?Field=$some_var
    Code (markup):
    so when you enter
    http://domain.com/?Field=blabla
    Code (markup):
    you should rather use
    http://domain.com/blabla
    Code (markup):
    The .htaccess file hides parts of the true URL and make it look like
    http://domain.com/blabla
    Code (markup):

    (above <HTML><HEAD> etcsection of HTML)
    <?php
    $field = $_POST['field'];

    (write the field to folder with fopen and append)

    I dont know why you want to add a .txt like that to a folder though. Doesnt makemuch sense.
    Look at how to read, write and append to .txt files
    it will let you select the folder and even create a new .txt file with a name you specify

    its basic code, and i aint writing it all here. :D


    ?>


    // In the Body of HTML
    <form id="form" name="form" method="post" action="index.php">
    <input name="field" id="textfield" value="Foldername" type="text">

    //NEW
    <input type="submit" value="Submit this form" onclick="this.form.submit">
