flip Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Im trying to make a quick script containing ONLY html/php.. All I want it to do is change the text on the button once it's clicked. Here's my code: <?php if(isset($_POST['button'])){ $a = "STOP"; } else{ $a = "GO"; } ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <body> <form method="post" action="#"> <input type="button" name="button" id="button" value="<?php print $a; ?>" /> </form> </body> </html> any ideas why this isnt working?

haku Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Yep. You can't do it without javascript, that's why. Php will require a page reload. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/161825-button-change-quick-help/#findComment-853794 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine all the same. even if the page reloads, its cool. I just gotta get the button to change to stop =P Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/161825-button-change-quick-help/#findComment-853798 Share on other sites More sharing options...
haku Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 You need to change your input type to submit instead of button. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/161825-button-change-quick-help/#findComment-853800 Share on other sites More sharing options...
