How do I create a form that, when it is submitted, a new page takes on the URL of the page with the form on it, effectively replacing that page with the new page? There are a series of forms after that with slightly different URLs which will be in turn replaced as new pages are written.

Hello,

Please be more specific. It is very hard to understand what you mean.

Hello,

To be more specific I want to create a form, when submitted, it becomes a web page. The web page that is created replaces the URL of the form.

Heres an example of what I'm looking for:

When you click on "Touch one of the Translucent areas", you will be taken to a form that, when you fill in and submit, will become a web page that replaces the URL of the form.

Here is what I THINK you are looking for:

PHP Code:

<?
if (isset($_POST['Submit']))
{
     echo 'Your Web Page Content Goes Here!';
}
else
{
    ?>
        <form method="POST" action="<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
        <!-- Your Form Goes Here -->
        <input type="textbox" name="fieldname">
        <input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="Submit Form">
        </form>
    <?
}
?>

Thank you digioz for the help. That code you suggested looks like it will do the job.

That is actually less specific than your original question. Does the process involve a magic wand or secret handshake?

And type="textbox" is not a valid input attribute. Digioz might be thinking:

Code:

<textarea name="fieldname"></textarea>

[digioz]

Hehehe.... you are absolutely right Keith. instead of textarea it should read:

Code:

<input type="text" name="fieldname">

That's what happens when you type a code out in a hurry.

[Keith]

Haha... no worries, we've all done it.

Thank you Keith for the correction.

I have another question. How do I make it so that the web page, which is created when I submit the form, contains some formatted text and two links which lead to forms?

For example, if I had a form with a text box, where you would type the title of the chapter, when submited, the text in the text box would be formatted to a larger size and bold on the resulting web page.

The two links would lead to different threads of the story, or forms if the chapters haven't been written yet.
