[SOLVED] Can this JavaScript function be done in PHP?

[Omzy]

function goto(url)
{
var selection = document.getElementById('region');

if(selection.value != null)
{
document.location = url + document.getElementById('region').options[document.getElementById('region').selectedIndex].value;
}
}

 

<a href="/directory/'.$index.'/" onclick="goto(this.href); return false">'.$cat[$index][2].'</a>

 

'region' is a drop down box (HTML SELECT). What the function does is append the current value of 'region' to the end of the URL specified in the 'a href'. It does this onclick (not onpage load).

 

I was wondering could the same functionality be achieved using PHP? Perhaps using the header() function?

No. Once the page is displayed, PHP has nothing to do with it. You could of course use AJAX, but that would be overcomplicating things (you would still use JavaScript)
