Your script makes HTML like this:
Code:
<body>
<h2>Weather Forecast - Change City</h2>
<form name="input" action="startPage.html" method="get">
<input type="radio" name="LONDON" value="MUMBAI" >Mumbai<br>
<input type="radio" name="LONDON" value="LONDON" >London
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
<input type="reset" value="Reset!"><br>
</form>
</body></html>

...which I seriously doubt is what you want.
I basically want to update the variable in another script in the config script and send the amended value on submit to change the city. Would you suggest a different method or would this way work.

Another newbie question - do i just echo out ${QUERY_STRING} as written to output the get value/how exactly can you process this?
