hi Ólafur,

his situation doesn't require a redirect (he only thinks it does),
and redirects suck when used unecessarily. (plenty of info on the web
about why this is so ... hunt for a 'rant' by the formidable Richard Lynch
in the archives of this list for instance)

Hi,

I am fairly new to PHP. I would like to serve a page to a user based on his
input. Say, I have a page 1 where user has 3 options(drop down menu). Based
on his selection I would like a php script to direct him to another page (to
pages 2,3,4 based on what he selected). I am unable to figure how to do this
in php. Can you please give me some pointers.

Is there any function which takes path and directs the user to that page?

Thanks,
Prasad
