HTML button / php

Question

<a href="#" class="button">Etiam posuere</a> </div>

how can i make this call php use? since i want it to do this in php:

so the button is reading this php, or so it can do the same as what this does.

if (isset($_POST['do1'])){
    $klasse = $_POST['antall'];
    $klasse = strtolower($klasse);
    $dato = $_POST['dato'];
    $fag = $_POST['fag'];
    $tema = $_POST['tema'];
    $info = $_POST['info'];

    if ($info == "") {
        $info = "ukjent";
    }
    if ($tema == "") {
        $tema = "ukjent";
    }
    $exists = file_exists("proveload/prove$klasse.txt");
    if(!$exists) {
        $ourFileName = "proveload/prove$klasse.txt";
        $ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'w') or die("Noe er feil med filen");
        $stringData = "$dato $fag ($tema , $info).";
        fwrite($ourFileHandle, $stringData);
        fclose($ourFileHandle);
        echo "lagde filen prove$klasse.txt ";
    } else {
        $file = "proveload/prove$klasse.txt"; 
        $data = "$dato $fag ($tema , $info).\n";
        $fp = fopen($file, "a", "\n") or die("Couldn't open $file for writing!");
        fwrite($fp, $data) or die("Couldn't write values to file!"); 
    }
}

PHP runs on the SERVER. Your button is on the CLIENT. You need to learn JavaScript. — Diodeus - James MacFarlane

That PHP code is expecting form values. Why not make this a form and have that form submit to that PHP page? — David

The better solution is to make a traditional and standard form+submit buttom. Buuuuuuut if you still want to make it in that way you should use onClick propety and call an ajax request. You will find a LOT of information about it on Google.

HTML file runs on the client (ie. the users browser), the php runs on the server. You need to make these work together.

You could use a link, like you have, and set the href to point to your php file. However, you cannot easily send data with this method; your php is expecting form data, so the php would need editing if you use this solution. Alternatively, you can use a HTML form. You can find out how to do this here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Forms. This is the solution I would recomend for your scenario

Finally, you can use Ajax. However, this is harder and requires at least basic JavaScript knowledge. Therefore this is not something I would suggest you look into at this time

hmm.. how hard is it to do the code there to php instead of html? i tried also the php method for button, and then call the posts, but it didnt work.

Malin Pedersen Over a year ago

is it any thing i can do? the forms are in php`s, only i need is to do the button to php then, and then using php as i did?

It sounds like you might need a submit button; it takes the form data and sends it to the server

Of course this wont just work. Easiest way to make a button work in php is:

echo <<<EOT
<form action="index.php" method="post"> 
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
