I have two forms the first one is full of different networks (ex: A, B, C) and the second form is full of different java functions (ex: average.java, length.java, edges.java) that take the text file that represents the network (ex: networkA.txt is the text file for network A) and run the code. I have this part figured out. Where I am running into a problem is that I want to cut down on the amount of pages that I need to be using for efficiency purposes. I have 26 different networks and I dont want to make that mean that I have 50 different network form files and consequently 26 different function form files.
Ideally I want network.php (where user can pick from 26 different networks ---> A, B, C...Z) with radio buttons. And then I want the user to be able to submit the form. The next page that pops up function.php I would want to have the function form on there with radio buttons (ex: average, length, amount. Then with this submit button (for function.php), I want to take the two forms and with the selected choices (Ex: network: A function: edges) run that network txt file through the java code for that function and spit out the result in a results.php page.
So to clarify my question I am wondering if there is a way to keep the choice from networks stored when i go from network.php to function.php to then run through the java code and spit out in results.php. Ive been reading that there is a show./hide function in javascript that does this however I cannot find any good tutorial or web page addressing how to do this in the context that I am trying to do it. Any help, hints, pointers, or example code is welcome and much appreciated.

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
String line = null;
int numEdges = 0;
while ( (line = br.readLine() ) != null){
System.out.println(line);

RunCode.php ---> This is what i use to compile java code in my php page
$PATH="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_101\bin";
echo exec("javac Edges.java 2>&1");//shows # of errors
echo "<br />";
echo exec("java Edges networkA.txt 2>&1");//this line executes it
echo "<br />";
echo shell_exec("javac Edges.java 2>&1 ");//compiles it
networkA.php ---> networkA complies the code and gives me a result of in this case = 10 edges
