for this situation I would do something like this

 

if(!(isset($_POST['showall'])))

{

  $firstsix='no';

}

else

{

  $firstsix='yes';

}

 

if($firstsix=='yes')

{

RUN QUERY TO GENERATE FIRST 6

}

 

if($firstsix=='no')

{

RUN QUERY TO GENERATE ALL

}

 

<form action='yourpage.php' method='post'>

<input type='hidden' value='showall'

<input type='submit' value='Show All' />

 

I would submit this to the same page your form is on.

Something like that.

You could also just use a link and use $_GET to set the variable

 

if(!(isset($_GET['showall'])))
{
  $firstsix='no';
}
else
{
  $firstsix='yes';
}

if($firstsix=='yes')
{
RUN QUERY TO GENERATE FIRST 6
}

if($firstsix=='no')
{
RUN QUERY TO GENERATE ALL
}

<a href="page.php?showall=true">Show all</a>

 

Same thing really, I just don't like form buttons :)

doing it in javascript would be nice only if you do not want to refresh the page.. but what will you do when a user has javascript turned off? You should never rely on javascript to run your sites.

 

think of js as more of a bonus feature
