I think that's how

Code:

<html>
 <head>
 <title>Dynamic Drop Down List</title>
 </head>
 <BODY bgcolor ="pink">
 <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>">
 Server List :
 <select Server Name='serv'>
 <option value="">--- Select ---</option>
 <option value="server1">--- Self ---</option>
 <option value="server2">--- Server2 ---</option>
 <?
 
 if( isset($_POST ['serv']) )
 {  
     $select=$_POST ['serv'];
 }
 if(isset($select))
 {
    if($select == self)
    {
        header('Location: /etc/cfg2html/node1.cluster.com.html');
    }else{
        header('Location:'.$select. ' ');
    }
 } 
 ?>
 </select>
 <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Go" />
 </form>
 </body>
 </html>

Thank you very much for for your help.

The code is working but it does not find page. however page is there.

[root@node1 cfg2html]# ls -ld /etc/cfg2html/node1.cluster.com.html
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 626580 Sep 26 01:24 /etc/cfg2html/node1.cluster.com.html

Please help.

Have you tried searching the internet for PHP tutorials and examples?

Code:

if( isset($_POST ['serv']) )
 {  
     $select=$_POST ['serv'];
 }
 if(isset($select))
 {
    if($select == self)
    {
        header('Location: /etc/cfg2html/node1.cluster.com.html');
    }else{
        header('Location:'.$select. ' ');
    }
 } 
 ?>

The possible values that can be assigned to serv is defined by value= which you have defined as server1, server2 or "" therefore the if statement "$select == self" will never be true. I don't pretend to be a programmer and there could be some errors. I would place this at the top. I assume your web server is configured to serve pages from /etc/cfg2html/

Code:

<?php
 
 if( isset($_POST ['Submit']) && $_POST ['Submit']=="Go" )
 {  
     $select=$_POST ['serv'];
     if($select == "server1")
        header('Location: /etc/cfg2html/node1.cluster.com.html');
    if($select == "server2")
        header('Location: url_for_server2 ');
 } 
 ?>

I've also reported your thread to be moved to programming.
