Answer 1

<form method="GET" action="abc.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">   
   <input type="text" name="number" value=""/>                   
   <input type="submit"  name="search"  value="SEND"/>
</form>

Answer 2

Change action="abc.php?number=ph_number" to action="abc.php

Change name="ph_number" to name="number"

When you click submit, the value contained in "number" text field will be passed to abc.php.

Receive the value with $value = $_REQUEST['number']; in abc.php.

You can leave an empty action, and use the onSubmit event to load a javascript function that does whatever and redirects to the page according to the input value.

Html

<form .. action="" onsubmit="return abcByPhone(this);">

Javascript

function abcByPhone(form) {
   url = from.number.value;
   ...
}

EDIT: I actually didn't read the question properly. I thought you wanted to redirect to different pages according to the input. Using plain GET (like the others mentioned) is fine for this.
