PHP + Buttons

[Suchy]

I am having trouble with a button. Here is what I have:

 

<form method="POST" action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="info" id="info" type="submit"  value="Show info"  onClick="<?php $info = TRUE ?>" /> 
</form>


<?php 
$info = FALSE;
if ($info == TRUE ) { ?>
......
......
<?php } ?>

 

This in not working, so what is the proper way to add functionality to a button?

you can only add javascript to the events on a html element. PHP executes on teh server and is all done and finished by the time the client displays a page. If you want the button to do something dynamic then you will have to use ajax.
