I want my form to redirect to a dynamic URL

For example in the confirm options under the redirect to another URL field I want to enter something like this, using the results from a hidden field:
http://www.domain.co.uk/this_folder/[an_extra_dynamic_bit]/

Has anyone got any idea how I could get this to work? :/

Problem solved :D

Just do this:
Instead of putting a URL in the "redirect to another URL" field - put this in the "redirect to custom HTML page" field

<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0;http://www.domain.co.uk/this_folder/[an_extra_dynamic_bit]/">

Thanks for that tip Sue. I will have to test that as I thought the form builder unset all the variables after submitting it.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Actually I just discovered that the session variables are still there! I was looking for '_form_results_' not the session variables individually. Sorry.

So the method linked to above is a good work-around for relative URLs...

redirect to custom HTML page =

<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0;MyRelative/URL/etcetc/">
