[SOLVED] Button Control

[OldManRiver]

All,

 

Have a file posted at:

 

http://pastebin.ca/840828

 

with 5 buttons.  Problem is I'm having trouble getting the buttons to differentiate themselves.  Been trying to use the function "set_but" to solve this, but not sure I'm calling it correct nor setting up the passing of vars to it right.

 

The purpose of this file, is to read in an Excel file (thus TBS Excel class) and then write data to another Excel file.  Right now, I'm using MySQL to hold the R:C mapping between the files and have not yet set up any MySQL queries, until I can the button to perform their various functions.

 

Buttons are:

• Browse - From built in <input type=file> field,
  
• View Input File - Uses TBS Excel Class to open originating file,
  
• Process - Scrapes the data from file1 into file2,
  
• View Output File - Process file, if not already done and opens target file with TBS Excel Class,
  
• Print Output - Process file, if not already done and print out the resulting target file.
  

 

Right now all the buttons, other than "Browse" are just opening the originating file.

 

Kinda new on the PHP side, so still feeling my way.

 

All help appreciated!

 

Thanks!

PHP (unlike Javascript) runs server side, therefore you cannot call a php function directly with a client side action.

 

You seam to be confusing server side code with client side code. PHP is unlike Javascript which does run on the client (browser).

All,

 

Resolved with this code:

   define('TITLE2', 'Subtitle');
   define('ORGFIL', 'source.xls');
   define('ORGSHT', 'sheet1');
   define('OCLROW', '5 324');
   define('TRGFIL', 'target.xls');
   define('TRGSHT', 'sheet2');
   define('TCLROW', '11 57');
   include('Zips/TBS Excel/tbs_class.php');          //Load TBS Class
   include('Zips/TBS Excel/tbs_plugin_excel.php');   //Load TBS plugin

   function open_xcel($myfile,$mysheet) {
      $opn_str = $myfile;
      $TBS = new clsTinyButStrong;
      $TBS->PlugIn(TBS_INSTALL,TBS_EXCEL);
      $TBS->LoadTemplate($myfile);
//      $TBS->MergeBlock('book',$books);               //Process Alternate Cell Mapping
//      $TBS->MergeBlock('tsk1,tsk2',$tasks);          //Process Alternate Cell Mapping
//      $TBS->MergeBlock('emp',$employees);            //Process Alternate Cell Mapping
