PHP - how to set up URL after sending form?

I have a website (www.website.com) and on the homepage is a form, where the user set up a city. After sending the form, I am trying to have the following URL address:

www.website.com/city-name

But I am lost a bit here, because I am not sure, how to set up the form (GET or POST is better for this need?), and .htaccess.

Could anyone help with this? Thank you

You could let the submit button run a javascript function. In that javascript function, use

var cityName = document.getElementById("the textarea id").value

to get the value the user typed for the city name. Then redirect to the right page:

window.location='http://www.website.com/' + cityName

After the form is submitted you could redirect your users via PHP redirect, or am i missing something?

header('Location: http://www.website.com/city-name');

But be careful, this can only be used before you send any output!

PHP: header()
