I have an PHP application. I have coded everything I need except for this one thing.

I have a menu that is dynamically built reading from 4 MYSQL tables. I want to send the user to different html pages depending on 1 of 4 selections that was selected.

I feel really dumb asking this, but can someone give me the code or direct me in the right direction?

Thanks

A good place to go lookin' is...

Lats...

Just name the drop down menu something like "dropdown" and then name each value "section1, section2, section3, section4" etc... and do:


<?php
if($dropdown == section1) {
header("Location: section1.php");
}
// etc....
?>


Make sure that file is on a new page, since it uses header functions.

As mkaufman said ..

But for me, I would save my server a hit using javascript.

I think header() will redirect the page, but you lose any form variables set at this point, i.e. if a user has logged in, once you've used header() to redirect him to another page the login name has been lost. I suppose you can use session variables but isn't there an easier way?

Ahmad, how about a Javascript example ?

The script using the header function worked great! My hands off to mkaufman. I didn't have any variables that I passed that I cared about, so it worked excellent as is.

I would be interested in the javascript example also, just for grins.

Again, many thanks.
