making an url with text and buttons?

[thetestingsite]

A couple of things wrong with that one, "id" should be "name":

<?php 
if ($_POST['name'] && $_POST['pass']) {
$url = 'http://'.$_POST['name'].':'.$_POST['pass'].'@my.com';
} else { ?>
<form action="<?php echo htmlentities($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>" method="post">

                <div class="form_field">
                <strong>Username:</strong>
                <input type="text" id="name">
                </div>

                <div class="clearthis">&nbsp;</div>

                <div class="form_field">
                <strong>Password:</strong>
                <input type="password" id="pass">
                </div>

                <div class="clearthis">&nbsp;</div>

                <div class="form_field">
                <input type="image" src="/images/loginBtn.gif" class="button">
                </div>

            </form>
<?php } ?>

Hope this helps.

Thanks thanks thanks. I will look into the sprintf thing in a bit. I really need to get on and learn this language. So much to do so much to do.

This part is just saying to do a header redirect to the location http://$_POST['username']:$_POST['password']@my.com/page/ just in the form of sprintf. Basically, the %s is a string that is passed through the sprintf method. The first %s is the username and the second is the password. For a better picture, look at the colored code below.

Aye, thanks for that, it is a new one to me, but I shall look at it

You know what? I used every example in this thread, most of them twice... and I couldn't get any of them to work!

I am going to try again in a little bit, and if I can't do it I will post a link to a page with text areas showing the php used and maybe someone can see what I am doing wrong...
