[PHP] automatic link execution after form submit

[Fritz]

Dear groupmembers.

I am stuck on "executing" automaticaly
a URL-string to be sent to a perl-script.
Explanation:

I have a form with one textfield.
After submittung the form I get
the variable $indicprop from that field.
$indicprop should now be sent automaticaly
within a query string of the sort:
/cgi_bin/myscript.pl/Search?search=
{field1}=~/$indicprop/i or {field2}=~/$indicprop/i
The only solution I came up with is
putting the string within a <a href=/cgi-bin/etc/...>Search NOW</> tag.
Can´t the click on this link be automated ?

Any hint is very appreciated.

Happy weekend,     Fritz

PD: Following is the code I have so far.

<?
if ($sent) {
      echo" <table class=SEARCH width=100% border=0 cellspacing=0>";
      echo" <TR CLASS=LIGHT3D>";
      echo" <TD><IMG SRC=/db4/icons/pixel.gif WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=1></TD></TR>";
      echo" <tr><td>";
   echo"<A HREF=/cgi-bin/farma2.pl/Search?search=
%7Bpropiedades%7D+%3D%7e+%2F$indicprop%2Fi+or+%7Bindicaciones
%7D+%3D%7E+%2F$indicprop%2Fi&sent=1><BIG><B>B U S C A R</B></BIG> por 
<font color=red>\"$indicprop\"</font> únicamente en campos INDICACIONES 
y PROPIEDADES</a>";
   echo"<FORM><INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE=REGRESAR 
ONCLICK=history.go(-1)></FORM>";
      echo "</td></tr><TR CLASS=DARK3D >";
      echo" <TD><IMG SRC=/db4/icons/pixel.gif WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=1></TD>";
      echo" </TR></table><BR>";

} else {
?>
      <form action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>">
        <table class=SEARCH width=100% border=0 cellspacing=0>
         <TR CLASS=LIGHT3D>
	<TD><IMG SRC="/db4/icons/pixel.gif" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=1></TD>
</TR>
           <tr>
            <td> Buscar únicamente en campos INDICACIONES y 
PROPIEDADES:<br>
              <input name="indicprop" size=14>
              <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="sent" VALUE=1>
              <input type=SUBMIT value='Preparar' name="SUBMIT">
            </td>
          </tr>
         <TR CLASS=DARK3D >
	<TD><IMG SRC="/db4/icons/pixel.gif" WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=1></TD>
</TR>
        </table>
      </form>
<?
} // if-else
?>
