  2. PHP
  3. HTML
  4. Get data from HTML forms

Requirements

Create a script that displays a form allowing the user to select one of three url - and then jumps to the relevant store based on the user's choice.

Hint

Use the Location: header to redirect the browser to the appropriate store after the form has been submitted.

You need to make sure that the script doesn't output anything before the Location: header:
