Here’s a really quick and useful trick to know.

Sometimes you might want your form to redirect to somewhere and pass a few bits of information in the querystring, so that you can do something when you get there.

For example, I needed a recent form to redirect depending on which checkboxes were checked to build a certain URL:

if($form_state['values']['filters']['open']) {	$query[] = 'o=1'; } 
if($form_state['values']['filters']['down']) {	$query[] = 'd=1'; }
$form_state['redirect'] = array('data/search/'.$keyword, implode('&', $query));

If “open” checkbox is checked, it will redirect to “data/search/keyword?o=1″. I then get the value of this using $_GET['o']. Simple eh?
