Help making a Form, Form to create URL "Link" that will be clicked via submit bu Options

[Fakshon]

Hi,

I am trying to develop a form that does this:

List one chooses a City (variable 1):

Austin = 214 (term ID)
Los Angeles = 215 (term ID)
Chicago = 216 (term ID)

List two chooses a type of restaurant (variable 2):

Tex-Mex = ,415 (term ID)
Italian = ,416 (term ID)
American = ,417 (term ID)

Which will complete a url

www.examplesite.com/taxonomy/term/(variable 1),(variable 2)

Then a form Submit Button that will:

Click the link to the dynamic link that was created by the form.


Which will cause the page to go to:

www.examplesite.com/taxonomy/term/214,415


I hope this is understandable.

Thanks,

Fakshon

HTML forms don't work that way, but you could have a server-side (e.g., CGI, PHP) or client-side (JavaScript) program redirect to the desired URL.

I am currently using Drupal to develop my site which uses PHP. I myself don't know enough about PHP but I am in need of creating this function. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Normally, submitted form fields (with submit method GET) create a URL with the name/value pairs of the form fields, not just the values like in your example above. To change it you may have to use e.g. PHP like Darin suggested.

Is this destination page under your control? If so, it would be much more sensible to let it accept arguments in the conventional format generated by a form (as Christian said). Where are these numbers ("214=Chinese cooking" or whatever it was) coming from??
