Question

I have a form, text input and a submit button. How do I append the value of the text box to the form action i.e.

action=’https://www.mywebsite.com/’ & txtSessionId

The form looks like this:

<form name='form1' method='post' action='https://www.mywebsite.com/'>   <label>Your Sessions ID:     <input type='text' name='txtSessionId' id='txtSessionId'>   </label>   <label> <input type='submit' name='btnContinue' id='btnContinue' value='Continue'> </label> </form> 

I want the link to look like this: https://www.mywebsite.com/123456

where 123456 is typed into the text box by the user.

Thank you

You’d have to either use javascript or something server-side to do that (or both).

Javascript:

<form name='form1' method='post' action='https://www.mywebsite.com/'    onsubmit='location.href = this.action + this.txtSessionId.value; return false;'> 

Server-side (PHP)

if (!empty($_POST['txtSessionId'])) {     header('Location: https://.....' . (int)$_POST['txtSessionId']);     exit(); }
