php equivalent...

[leijae]

I wrote this code in Javascript... I hate it, but I'm not really well versed in PHP. Is there a PHP equivalent? I'm not asking anyone to do it for me, but if you know of a resource that's good for this matter, please post it.

 

// this is my javascript
function hidey(val)
	{
		if(val == 'on' || val === true)
		{
			document.getElementById('a1').checked = true;
			document.getElementById('toshow').style.display = 'block';
			document.getElementById('tohide').style.display = 'none';
		}
		else if(val == 'off' || val === false)
		{
			document.getElementById('a2').checked = true;
			document.getElementById('toshow').style.display = 'none';
		}

	}

//this is my html
<form action=" " method="post">
						This is on <input id="a1" name="kind" type="radio" value="on" checked="checked" onclick="hidey(this.checked);" /><br />
						This is off <input id="a2" name="kind" type="radio" value="on" checked="checked" onclick="hidey(this.checked);" />

Not sure what you really want. That code is manipulating the content in the user's browser. You can't do that with PHP. Aside from that, the structure of the code is valid for PHP.

Javascript runs on the user's computer.  PHP runs on your server.  So no, there is no way to modify the contents of the user's computer with PHP, you have to completely reload the page.

What do you "hate" about that code. Is it not working the way you want it to?
