Well, to sum it up, I am not good at PHP. So, I was wondering if someone fills out a text box (Let's say they put in Waffles.) and then they click the submit button how can I make it so they go to www.example.com/edit.php?stuff=stuff&thing=Waffles ?

Better off putting this in the PHP section.

No PHP needed for the OP's request at all:

<form action="get">
<input type="text" name="thing" value="Waffes" />
</form>

I just tried that and when I click the submit button nothing happens. Do I have to add something to the button's HTML? (Also, might I mention the form is on a different domain then the PHP page I am trying to link them to.)

A text box is not a good idea for linking to other web pages.

Typed that way too fast and didn't read over what I typed.

<form method="get" action="http://somedomain.com/edit.php">
<input type="text" name="thing" value="Waffes" />
</form>

The Thread and data is excellent and informative as well.
