Hi

I think this is very easy to do but I havent got it to work, I need to set a text box area with an open button where the user can type hes account number only that its the number off the folder in the server, and open that same url for example the box will be in http://www.yoursite.com/index.php and if the user types in the box 12254 it opens the url http://www.yoursite.com/12254

please helpp!

You could do it this way, but you would have to use Javascript.
There may be another way to use just PHP, but I will have to think about it.

PHP Code:

<div>

<?php

$folder_name = $_POST["folder_name"];

$path = "http://your_site.com/";

$dest = $path.$folder_name;

?>

<span style="border:1px solid #000000;width:332px;padding-top:15px;padding-left:15px;">

<form name="theForm" action="#" method="POST">

<b>Enter account # :</b> <input name="folder_name">

<input type="submit" value="Go">

</form>

</span>

<?php if(isset($folder_name)) { ?>

<script>

document.theForm.action="<?php echo $dest ?>";

theForm.submit();

</script>

<?php } ?>

</div>

Ok, here is a PHP only solution.

This PHP code MUST go at the top of your page with absolutely no spaces, blank lines or any text of any kind before it.

Make sure that you understand this or the code will not work.

PHP Code:

<?php

$folder_name = $_POST["folder_name"];

$path = "http://your_site.com/";

$dest = $path.$folder_name;

if(isset($folder_name) && $folder_name != "") {header("Location: $dest");}

?>

And the form can go anywhere else that you like on your page.

HTML Code:

<span style="border:1px solid #000000;width:332px;padding-top:15px;padding-left:15px;">
<form action="#" method="POST">
<b>Enter account # :</b> <input name="folder_name">
<input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
</span>
