HTML forms + variable

[NickM]

Hi,
I am trying to make a form that appears on a page as a text box + submit button. I need what ever is typed in the textbox to appear in the url eg:

if I typed 'pen' in the text box it would take me to "www.site2.com/stuff/pen"

what would the code for this be?

cheers

on the page

<form method=post action="change.php" / ><br />
<input name="place" type="text" value="Where" size="15" / ><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go" / >
</form>

change.php

if ($_POST['submit']) {
$where = $_POST['$place'];
header("http://www.site2.com/stuff/".$where);
}

think that will work but im tired

That PHP won't work.

<?php
    if (isset($_POST['place'])) {
        header('Location: ' . $_POST['place']);
    }
?>
