    Hi,

    I have a form on index.php of my site. the form action is to rd2results.php, which then needs to redirect to websearch.php?key={keyword}

    I need to take the keyword entered in the form on index.php & insert it into the url that rd2results.php redirects to.

    Can't find instructions on how to do this...anyone know how?

    Thanks!

    Adam

    at the top of your index.php page:

    
<?
 if ($_GET["keyword"])
 {
    header("Location: http://www.yellow.com/websearch.php?key=" . urlencode($_GET["keyword"]) );
    error_log("Redirected search query to /websearch.php?key = " . $_GET["keyword"]);
    die();
}
?>

<html>
etc.
    PHP:


    replace $_GET with $_POST if your are using METHOD="POST" in the actual form.
