You'll probably get a better response from a PHP oriented list, rather
than here.  The simplest way would be to add the information to the url
(add something like ?table=month or ?table=aircraft to the url) and then
look for values in $_GET['table'] to decide what table to display.

If you insist on using POST, you'll have to make your links submit a
form rather than use simple links.  The values passed would then be in
the $_POST variable instead of $_GET.
