Hey
This is my first post about Arduino, which I am quite new to but am having LOTS of fun with XD
I have however reached a point where I need to start discussing solutions with this amazing community as iv reached the limits of my current programming knowledge. 
What im trying to do is the following.
Have an Uno R3 and Ethernet Sheild running a webserver with a basic web form on it. This form contains 10 fields which I want to be able to fill out from my web browser and submit them to the Uno R3 at a GET request (or SET?), which in turns saves the data from these forms as either INT or STRINGS (some of the field will be for INT and some for STRINGS)
I was wondering if someone can tell me the simplest way of achieving this.
I can already setup the webserver, build the web form with HTML and read the submitted data to the serial window but I so far have FAILED to save the required parts of the HTTP GET request to variables of the required data type, which will then be used later in program.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to assist me with this 
Here is my server code. It saves the request in a variable named tBuf so you can parse it.

You will probably need to increase the size of the tBuf array to handle that many variables.
Very simple server code that uses a form with a text box and captures the GET request into a String. Use the serial monitor to see what is received by the arduino.
//zoomkat 7-29-12
//submit box test code
//for use with IDE 0021
//open serial monitor to see what the arduino receives
//use the ' to replace the " in the html
//address will look like http://192.168.1.102:84/ when submited
//for use with W5100 based ethernet shields
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED }; //physical mac address
byte ip[] = { 192, 168, 1, 102 }; // ip in lan
byte gateway[] = { 192, 168, 1, 1 }; // internet access via router
byte subnet[] = { 255, 255, 255, 0 }; //subnet mask
EthernetServer server(84); //server port
String readString;
