[PHP] urldecode header

[alexus]

hi

i was wondering if someone can give me a hand (i'm very new to php).

i have a form that user suppose to fill out that then get submitted to
index.php (current setup)

now what i need is another let's say index2.php that would take
everything from that form, rewrite one of the field and spits it back
to index.php

now, i dont know but as far as i know stuff that form spits out is
urlencoded, so i need to use urldecode function (
http://us.php.net/urldecode ) to decode and then header function (
http://us2.php.net/header ) to spit it back to index.php

now after all that i'm pretty much stuck here, i dont know how to do
it.. if someone can a spare a minute or two and write that code for me
i'd highly appreciate that.

thanks in advance

urlencode() and urldecode() are handy for passing text in urls.

In index.php you would have something like:

$msg = urlencode( 'whatever message you want to send' );

header( Location: http://example.com/index2.php?msg=$msg; );
exit;

Then on the index2.php

$msg = isset( $_REQUEST[ 'msg' ] ) ? urldecode( $_REQUEST[ 'msg' ] ) : '';

At this point you can mangle $msg however you like and send it somewhere
else with another header() call.
