passing PHP variables to different web pages.

Question

I want a user to input something into a form (in this case,
gold, silver or bronze) and then upon pressing submit I want the
value to be sent to a PHP page where the information will be
displayed. So if a user types gold a query will run and display all
matches to the form on the first page, I do not want the results on
the same page. This is probably quite easy but I want multiple
forms on one page and then multiples PHP pages linked to the
original page if that makes any sense...

in general the value of form elements (e.g. input fields, select menus) can be retrieved using the$_POST['formelement_name'] variable on the follow up page -- andyou can also use this thing within a query, like this..."SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE medal ='".$_POST['medal_type']."'">>This is probably quite easy but I want multiple forms on onepage and then multiples PHP pages linked to the original page>>that shouldn´t be a problem, simply use a differenttarget page within each form´s "action" field -- e.g.action="check_medals.php"
