    You would need to use javascript, to change the action based on some criteria, select list, checkbox, etc...

    You can also place redirect within your action script depending of option selected in form. Like this:

    
<?php

  if($_GET["btget"]){

    switch($_GET["type"]){

      case '0':
        header("Location: process0.php?item=".urlencode($_GET["item"]));
      break;

      case '13':
        header("Location: process13.php?item=".urlencode($_GET["item"]));
      break;

      case '18':
        header("Location: process18.php?item=".urlencode($_GET["item"]));
      break;

      case '22':
        header("Location: process22.php?item=".urlencode($_GET["item"]));
      break;

    }
    exit;

  }

?>

    also take note of using sessions

    <?php

    session_start();
    $_SESSION['prev_data']['get'] = array_merge($_GET,$_POST);

    if($_GET["btget"]){

    switch($_GET["type"]){

    case '0':
    header("Location: process0.php?item=".urlencode($_GET["item"]));
    break;

    case '13':
    header("Location: process13.php?item=".urlencode($_GET["item"]));
    break;

    case '18':
    header("Location: process18.php?item=".urlencode($_GET["item"]));
    break;

    case '22':
    header("Location: process22.php?item=".urlencode($_GET["item"]));
    break;

    }
    exit;

    }

    ?>
