[FX.php List] links to refine search

[Nick]

an example of your form would be helpful.
i'll try to explain without it, though:

you have a <form method="get" action="list.php">
<input type="radio" name="choice" value="A" />
<input type="radio" name="choice" value="B" />
<input type="radio" name="choice" value="C" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

well the above form would be the same as doing this: <a
href="list.php?choice=A">Click here for A</a>

in the PHP the variable would be $_GET['choice'] and it would have your
value of A B or C or whatever

does that help?
