I'm not sure, but I think this should work.



<?
if ($go)
{

$url = 'http://www.yourdomain.com/pages/$page';

header("Location: $url")
}

else
{
echo "
<form actio=$PHP_SELF method=post>
Enter Page #: <input type=text name=page><br>
<input type=submit name=go value=go>
</form>

";
}


?>

PHP script...

Name it redirect.php


<?
if( isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['page_number']) )
{
header("Location: /pages/".$HTTP_POST_VARS['page_number']."/");
}
else
{
die("Please input the number//This page cannot be called directly");
}
?>


Then make the form and the action would be /redirect.php

If I understand what you're looking for, this ought to work. Assuming the file is 'script.php'...


<?php
if(isset($_POST['theRedirect']) {
header("Location:http://www.example.com/" . $_POST['theRedirect']); /* Redirect browser */
exit; }
?>

<form name="redirect" method="post" action="./script.php">
redirect:<input type="text" name="theRedirect">
<input type="submit" value="submit">


EDIT: Dratted [url] popping up there!
