Hola, PHP folk!
I have a php page that contains a self-processing form. The form holds
search results. The search terms originally came from the previous page,
but the user can repeatedly refine the results on the page in question
until the target item can be found. This search refinement is where the
self-processing form comes to play.
The search results are listed in a table with a radio button at the end of
each row. What I would like to do is have the user click the radio button
at the end of the row that lists their target and then click the "Choose
This" button, whereupon they would be directed to the next page, along
with the unique ID of the row they chose.
How do I break out of the self processing part of this form?
I originally tried to use a redirect, something like this:
if($_REQUEST["choose_lis t"] == "Choose List")
{ header("nextpag e.php"); }
This doesn't work in my pages, because I already have a stock header at
the beginning of the page, and this type of redirect conflicts with the
headers I have already sent.
Comments and suggestions appreciated!

The rough version of the page can be reached by performing an inital
search (try one of the pull-down values) here:
http://www.bturnip.com/jobmonster/ma...sting_list.php
The next page (edit_existing_ list_step1.php) is where I am stuck in my
self processing form.
