Help making a form

[thegreatpretender]

Hi!

Please help me to do this.

I want to make a form that would redirect to a php page and fill with the keyword entered into a part of the script that is embedded on the page to be redirected to.

example of page to be redirected to:

<?php
require_once'/home/mzec/public_html/script/script.php';
command('blank');
?>

I would like to fill the blank with the keyword entered in the form.

Thanks a lot.

Hi, I don't really understand what you are trying to do...

Do you just want to include a value of a variable, which was submitted with the form?
If so, use $_GET['name'] or $_POST['name'] depending on the form method (post or get), or just $name (if supported, although that might be less safe in some cases).

So that would be, for example:
command($_GET['name']);

If this is not what you mean, what do you mean?

Thanks Mr_PHP

What I mean is that when I click the form, which is an html page, it will go to a php page (with the above code)then fill the blank with the keyword entered. Is your example above do this? I'm sorry, I really don't know php. I'm just trying to do some work around in an open source script.

Thanks

Your form will send the variable (get or post) to the script you called.

If you named your form's textfield 'searchterm', your variable will be $_POST['searchterm'].

To show the result on the page use:
echo "$_POST['searchterm']";

(Depending on your form it will be GET or POST.)
