Hello thanks for your responce, i will look into putting radio buttons as my final design needed that.But i am not sure i know how to send the correct value associated with it.
My final version of the wed page was to do this---
The "index.php" page redirects me to lighton1.php when i click the ON button. When i go to "lighton1.php" the page runs a script and it finishes.
what i want to do is rather than creating another page lightoff1.php, I have one page let say Inprogress.php which receives a value from "index.php" say "L11" and parses that $varname to the ./dosomething.out .$varname.
And once it finishes it redirects the back to the index.php.
let me know if you know how to do this.
I really appreciate your help. thanks
