This is probably very easy but im also very new to php.
Im looking for a way that i can have checkboxes on a form that can be passed via the submit button to a php file that generates a Header locate based on the values.

for example

Apples X
Pears
Oranges X

would result in the output php file doing a header(“Location:url.com/Apples+Oranges”);

Im haivng difficulty working out how to get the checkbox values as a string and secondly in doing this above the header causes the header to fail for obvious reasons so I guess i have to use some output buffer?

Thanks!

    Basically you just get the post variables and redirect before any other output is made:

    <?php 
if(((bool) $_POST)){
    $url = 'http://url.com/';
    $url .= implode('+',$_POST['fruit']);
    $url .= $_POST['fruittext'];
    header("Location: ".$url);
}
?>
