I see the problem now.

Tim, you can't use $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]. This will give you the "whole"
query-string including it's key word. That's why you are getting the goto=/URL.

What you need to use is:

$_GET = for query strings and form gets
$_POST = for form posts

P.S. Rudy, GET is the default for a form if no method is given.
