I'll reexplain my problem.

The script I'm working on will run on a server divided in "environnements". By selecting "a", it redirects to a certain folder. From there, it does what it has to do. But I need to do this for each "environnement". I can call the menu from anywhere but I need to tell it that I want to go on "environnement" X depending on which ones are done. I hope this is clearer
