How to input a number in a web page and pass to a script?

I am working on an embedded linux router and trying to make a webpage where the user can input a desired number of CPE and have a script update that number on the router. I have a CLI where I can log in and type the following to change that number

echo "20">/proc/net/dbrctl/maxcpe which then sets the MaxCPE at 20

Here is the code for the webpage that I am using to test this

Quote:
<B>Set Max CPE</B>
<form method="get" action="cpe.sh">
<select size="3" name=cpe>
<option>5</option>
<option>10</option>
<option>20</option>
<option>32</option>
<option>64</option>
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
And here is the script that it is calling
Quote:
#!/bin/sh
echo \"$cpe\">/proc/net/dbrctl/maxcpe
It does not work and I am confused as to why or what I need to change. I am trying to set the webpage up to either select a number from a list like I have setup there or to have an input box, and then have that number passed into the script and have it execute as if I had typed in the string in the command line interface

So if I put let's say 4 into the input box then click the button it would be as if I was in the console/command line and typed
echo "4">/proc/net/dbrctl/maxcpe

The number has to keep the quotes around it but how do I get the number I put in the webpage placed into a variable named something like cpe and then have that number in that variable echoed like above.

When I ran this in a webpage it would output cpe.sh?cpe=20 if I select 20 but ti would not update the actual number of CPE passed to /proc/net/dbrctl/maxcpe

Thanks for any help guys, I am new to this and feel lost.

NAME
nodesave - Saves NET/ROM routing information SYNOPSIS
nodesave [-p path] [-v] [filename] DESCRIPTION
Nodesave saves the contents of the /proc filesystem entries for the NET/ROM routing tables. The output of the program is in the form of a Bourne shell script that calls nrparms(8) to recreate the NET/ROM routing information. If no filename is given on the command line, the program writes the script to stdout. Typically nodesave would be used when taking a system off-air so that the NET/ROM routing may be quickly restored when the system is brought back on-line. OPTIONS
-p path Set the path to the nrparms binary. This only affects the output of the program. Default is /usr/sbin. -v Display the version. FILES
/proc/net/nr_neigh /proc/net/nr_nodes SEE ALSO
