When the "submit" button is hit, the form executes the script located at 
the URL specified in the "action" attribute of the <form> tag.  So do 
this:
$script_target = "./nameofscript.php";
print "<form method="get" action="$script_target">.....  ";

in your PHP.  If you're new to this, don't worry about using PHP_SELF to 
call the same script, just make a new page with the code that handles 
the first page's data.  But eventually you'll probably want to clean up 
your style and use switch() statements or if statements to keep it all 
in one page.  (Right now I'm working on a 700-line monster that doesn't 
even include any HTML!)
