Need some <Form> help

[londonhogfan]

I have a form on my website that uses:

<form action="Results.php" method="GET">
From:<input type="text" size="4" maxlength="4" name="from" value="1894" />
To:<input type="text" size="4" maxlength="4" name="to" value="2007" />
<input type="submit" value="Go"/></form>

This works great to return a page that looks like...

results.php?from=1894&to=2007

problem is I have recently upgraded to using SEF urls so I need it to return a url that looks like...

results/1894-2007

Is there anyway to do this in a form?

Thanks in advance for any help.

You'll need to follow the steps outlined here:

Doing this requires you to have access to mod-rewrite, and if you don't there's no way to do it outside of making every link go through a php file that performs an appropriate header("Location: ...") rewrite.

I have actually already read that page. I have rewritten all of my urls to work like that i'm just needing a form that will also format it that way instead of returning a dynamic url.

Ah ok.

Yeah I would write a separate php file that dispatches the request after converting it for you:

dispatcher.php:

PHP Code:

<?php
  header('Location: '.$_POST['location'].'/'.$_POST['from'].'-'.$_POST['to']);
  exit;
?>

And then in your form:

<form action="dispatcher.php" method="post">
  From:<input type="text" size="4" maxlength="4" name="from" value="1894" />
  To:<input type="text" size="4" maxlength="4" name="to" value="2007" />
  <input type="hidden" name="location" value="results" />
  <input type="submit" value="Go"/>
</form>

Note the hidden input that tells the dispatcher where to go (in this case, results.php).

Kinda dirty but that's the only thing I can think of.

that works beautifully.

Thanks for your help.
