I'm looking for any tips for easy passing of values from a static page to a php page which will do queries. For example I have a static page which is basically a table with lots of different elements, text input, text from listboxes, checkboxes specifying whether one needs an exact match or not, radiobuttons etc. Just put the table in one form and use a post method or is there something better?

Well if you want to keep the static page modification to a minimum yes a form would be the simplest approach.
Alternatively you could incorporate an Ajax routine to your page that sends the values to the PHP script and gets the returns data for parsing without ever leaving the page you are on.
