Paul,
The first thing to remember is that PHP code is all executed before the
page is sent to the browser. You have no direct interaction with the
PHP code; all you can do is submit HTML requests (i.e. GET, POST) to the
server and have that execute the code.
So, with this in mind, in your select.php (the target for your form),
your $_POST array will have an element with the index 'radReadWrite' (if
a button is selected). This will contain 1 or 2, depending on the radio
button selected.
It will also contain an element with the index 'lstdepartment' for your
SELECT box, and value of the element will be the value of the option.
Based on these values, determine which page you want to go to, and use
the header() function to redirect the browser to the page you wish.
