Hello everyone, I am currently coding what I thought would be a simple PHP button that would alternate each time you click it to provide a different action. I've spent almost 2 hours trying to figure this out but I'm stumped at this point. I need your help.. Here is what I have so far:
the PHP:
<?php
session_start();
$pause = 1;
$btnname = "Pause";
$btntype = "pause";
if (isset($_POST['button'])) {
if (isset($pause)) {
unset($pause, $btnname, $btntype);
$play = 1;
$btnname = "Play";
$btntype = "play";
} else if (isset($play)) {
unset($play, $btnname, $btntype);
$pause = 1;
$btnname = "Pause";
$btntype = "pause";
}
?>
The HTML:
<a href="#" onclick="var myPlayer = document.getElementById('playerid'); myPlayer.<?php echo $btntype; ?>Video();"><input name="button" type="submit" id="button" value="<?php echo $btnname; ?>" /></a>
The Goal is to simple create a button where it will alternate between a "Play" and "Pause" command.
