ul li to form to php

[TheFilmGod]

What I am about to ask is a bit of html / a bit of php.

 

I have:

 

<ul>
<li><a href="#">LINK HERE</a></li>
</ul>

 

I want to change the LINK HERE to a form. So I can use php to bring up the submitted info.

 

The user has 5 options. I attached a picture.

 

How can I do that?

 

php part of the question -->

 

How will I use php to grab the info? I want the form to be self-processing. Would I just do $_POST['submit'] or will it be different from the solution you gave me?

 

Is this even possible?

Why would you use a from to grab information based on the class the user clicked on? You'd be better of using a normal hyperlink and sending a query string instead. Eg:

 

The link for Period 1 you'd do this

<ul>
<li><a href="class.php?period=1">Period 1</a></li>
</ul>

 

For the next period link you'll use the following:

class.php?period=2

 

etc

 

In class.php you'd use the following code for returning specific information based on the period number sent in the link

<?php

// Get the period id number from the query string
if(isset($_GET['period']) && is_numeric($_GET['period']))
{
    $requested_period = $_GET['period'];
}
// period id number is not present or is invalid, we'll set the requested_period variable to the string "invalid".
// This will be used later on.
else
{
    $requested_period = 'invalid'; 
}

// Now that we have the period id we can return the data based on that id
switch($requested_period)
{
    case '1':
        // show information for period1
    break;

    case '2':
        // show information for period2
    break;

    case '3':
        // show information for period3
    break;

    case '4':
        // show information for period4
    break;

    case '5':
        // show information for period5
    break;

    case 'invalid':
    default:
        // show error message, as the provided id number does not exists or is not present
    break;
}
