Your original page can use the code you specified

<Form method="post" action="page2.php">
code for your table here....

<!--Submit Button as Image-->
<input type="image" src="images/yourimage.gif" alt="Submit Form" name="submit" />
</form>

page2.php could look something like this:

<html>
<body>

<?php
$type = $_POST['type'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$course = $_POST['course'];
$year = $_POST['year'];

echo $type;

etc etc

?>
</body>
</html>

If you want to display it in a text box etc you would need to do something similar to this:

<input type="text" name="course" value="<?php echo $course; ?>" />

Original answer

Just submit the form using POST and handle the query string with some PHP on the next page.

This is assuming the data is not sensitive. I'd prefer PHP over Javascript (where possible).

Not sure your question is totally clear on what you are trying to do, and what technologies/languages are available to you.

You can use <input type="image" ... /> instead of a submit button.

Side note: Using anchor tag to submit form values is not recommended, better to use submit buttons.

But here's the answer: Use javascript. E.g.

<html>
...
<script type="text/javascript">
  function redirectWithValues() {
    var sStr = "../base/test.jsp?TEXT1=" + encodeURI(document.frmTest.TEXT1.value)
     + "&TEXT2=" + encodeURI(document.frmTest.TEXT2.value)
     + "&TEXT3=" + encodeURI(document.frmTest.TEXT3.value)
     + "&OPTION1=" + encodeURI(document.frmTest.OPTION1.value);

    window.location.href = sStr;
    return false;
  }
</script>
...
<form name="frmTest" action="../base/test.jsp">
  <input type="text" name="TEXT1" value="Value1" />
  <input type="text" name="TEXT2" value="Value2" />
  <input type="text" name="TEXT3" value="Value3" />
  <select name="OPTION1">
    <option value="OptionValue1">Option Description 1</option>
    <option value="OptionValue2">Option Description 2</option>
    <option value="OptionValue3">Option Description 3</option>
  </select>

  <a href="#" onclick="return redirectWithValues()">Woe is me</a>
</form>
...
</html>

By adding more INPUT elements to the FORM. The browser will then add more key-value-pairs to the query string.
