Your select "name" attribute is "New_URL" but you're looking for a POST attribute called "id". Change your PHP script to $_POST["New_URL"] and it should work.

I've got a select box, with a bunch of options that need to go to another page in the website when the go button is clicked. I'm running this on my localhost, so not sure if the CGI scripts are all there, I am running PHP though, so it would be ideal to set it up that way. Here is my code, would appreciate any links/advice. Cheers <form action="post" action="http://localhost/includes/redirect.php" name="selectCourse" id="selectCourseForm"> <fieldset> <select name="New_URL"> <option>Select a course</option> <option value="http://localhost/courses/artsAndMedia.php">Arts & Media</option> <option value="http://localhost/courses/businessAndPublicServices.php">Business & Public Services</option> <option value="http://localhost/courses/careTravelAndTourism.php">Care Travel & Tourism</option> <option>ESOL & Languages</option> <option>Hair, Beauty & Sport</option> <option>Humanities & English</option> <option>ICT & Maths</option> <option>Performing Arts & Media</option> <option>Skills for life</option> <option>Science</option> </select> <input name="submit" type="submit" id="goButton_replace" value="Go"/> </fieldset> </form> I've tried it with this redirect PHP script, but doesn't seem to work: <?php header("Location: " . $_POST['id']); ?> ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
