if you wish to have this work purely with PHP, and not rely on client-side
stuff like javascript, then your only option (that i can see) is to create a
middle man script which translates their wishes.
startpage.html
---
<html>
...
<form action='redirect.php' method='post'>
<input type='text' name='yourNumber' size='5' maxlength='5' />
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='show' />
</form>
...
</html>
---
redirect.php
---
<?
if($_POST['yourNumber'])
{
header("Location: http://mysite.com/dir/{$_POST['yourNumber']}");
}
else
{
header("Location: startpage.html");
}
?>
---
It can be done client side, IF you're willing to take on the risks and
uncertainties of relying on javascript, which i try to avoid wherever
possible.
You'll have to ask a JS list about that though :)
