Try this:
<?php
echo '<pre>';
print_r($_GET);
echo'</pre>';
?>

You should get something like:
array(
[when] = 0
[year1] =
)

Then you can use:
echo $_GET['when'],'<br>',
$_GET['year1'],'<br>',
'The test ends here';

You might want to put in a method attribute for the form as well:
print "<FORM name=\"form3\" method=\"get\" ACTION=\"cmdlog_rep.php\">\n";

If you use "post" as the method, then change the $_GET to $_POST
