Getting input and changing variable?

Hi I am new to scripting and have a function in my .sh script file that outputs a html radio button form

Code:

weather_forecast_config()
{
	echo ""
echo "<html><head><title>Welcome</title></head>"
echo "<body>"
echo "<h2>Weather Forecast - Change City</h2>"
echo "<form name="input" action="startPage.html" method="get">"
echo "<input type="radio" name="$cityconfig" value="$MUMBAI" >Mumbai<br>"
echo "<input type="radio" name="$cityconfig" value="$LONDON" >London"
echo "<input type="submit" value="Submit">"
echo "</form>"
echo "</body></html>"

if [ $cityconfig = "$MUMBAI" ]; then
               echo $WEATHERCONF ="204842"
               elif [ $cityconfig  = "$LONDON" ]; then
               echo $WEATHERCONF = "328328"
            fi
}

What I want the code to do is if the london radio button is selected and submitted this changes the $WEATHERCONF value to 328328, the $weatherconf is on another script whiich is output as startPage.html. The $weatherconf is in the code:

Code:

weather_forecast()
{
	

echo ""
echo "<html><head><title>Welcome</title></head>"
echo "<body>"
echo "<h2>Weather Forecast</h2>"
 echo "<a href="http://www.accuweather.com/en/gb/leicester/le1-3/weather-forecast/$WEATHERCONF" class="aw-widget-legal">"
echo "</a><div id="awcc1384544545323" class="aw-widget-current"  data-locationkey="$WEATHERCONF" data-unit="c" data-language="en-gb" data-useip="false" data-uid="awcc1384544545323"></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://oap.accuweather.com/launch.js"></script>"

echo "</body></html>"
}

any help would be appreciated thanks

LEARN ABOUT OPENSOLARIS

echo

echo(1B)					     SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands						  echo(1B)

NAME

       echo - echo arguments to standard output

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ucb/echo [-n] [argument]

DESCRIPTION

       echo writes its arguments, separated by BLANKs and terminated by a NEWLINE, to the standard output.

       echo  is useful for producing diagnostics in command files and for sending known data into a pipe, and for displaying the contents of envi-
       ronment variables.

       For example, you can use echo to determine how many subdirectories below the root directory (/) is your current directory, as follows:

	   o	  echo your current-working-directory's full pathname

	   o	  pipe the output through tr to translate the path's embedded slash-characters into space-characters

	   o	  pipe that output through wc -w for a count of the names in your path.

		    example% /usr/bin/echo "echo $PWD | tr '/' ' ' | wc -w"

       See tr(1) and wc(1) for their functionality.

       The shells csh(1), ksh(1), and sh(1), each have an echo built-in command, which, by default, will have precedence, and will be  invoked	if
       the  user  calls  echo without a full pathname. /usr/ucb/echo and csh's echo() have an -n option, but do not understand back-slashed escape
       characters. sh's echo(), ksh's echo(), and /usr/bin/echo, on the other hand, understand the  black-slashed  escape  characters,	and  ksh's
       echo() also understands a as the audible bell character; however, these commands do not have an -n option.

OPTIONS

       -n    Do not add the NEWLINE to the output.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWscpu			   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       csh(1), echo(1), ksh(1), sh(1), tr(1), wc(1), attributes(5)

NOTES

       The -n option is a transition aid for BSD applications, and may not be supported in future  releases.
