you should use $_POST['New_URL'] - thats going to be the value of the select box. Looking at your code there is nothing called ID on there!
and also - PHP is really off topic of this list, not sure of any PHP mailers but the sitepoint forums always get me out of bother! ----- Original Message ---- From: Paul Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "wsg@webstandardsgroup.org" <wsg@webstandardsgroup.org> Sent: Tuesday, 10 July, 2007 3:57:58 PM Subject: [WSG] Select that goes to a new URL Hi all, This should be pretty basic stuff, but coding the forms can be a bit above me sometimes :) I've hunted around and can't seem to find the answer, so here goes... 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] ******************************************************************* ___________________________________________________________ What kind of emailer are you?
