Question

I have a pege (index.php) with some text and a form with a single text input field. What i want is for the user to be sent to another page, upload.php if the input is “upload” or browse.php if input is “browse” and so on, how can this be achieved?

Thank you

You could use header() to send a location header depending on the value of the input.

switch ((string) $_POST ['mode'])
{
    case 'browse':
    case 'upload':
        // Redirect
        header('Location: http://www.example.com/' . $_POST ['mode'] . '.php');
        die ();
    break;
    default:
        // invalid input
    break;
}

<form action=<?php echo ($_SERVER ['SCRIPT_NAME']); ?>
    <select name="mode">
        <option value="">select...</option>
        <option value="upload">Upload something</option>
        <option value="browse">Browse files</option>
        <input type="submit" />
    </select>
</form>
