Question

Using html radio buttons (or alternative) to call a php function without javascript

Answer 1

+5 A:

Put it in a HTML <form> element and add a <input type="submit"> button. Let the form's action point to a single PHP page. In the PHP function behind the PHP page, determine the radio button pressed based on the parameter name and/or value and finally display the rest of page conditionally based on the selected radio button using if-else or switch statement.

+1 A:

In short, No.

You can't assign an action to a radio button change event without JavaScript.

If you add a "Change Type" button after the radio buttons I think you can make it work without any JavaScript, but you will need to use an iframe.

Hope this help

Just change the stuff in caps

<?php

 if(isset($_POST['donation']))
  {
   echo "ENTER THE CODE TO BE DISPLAYED IF THEY CLICK DONATION";
  }
 elseif(isset($_POST['pay']))
  {
   echo "ENTER THE CODE TO BE DISPLAYED IF THEY CLICK PAY";
  }
 elseif(isset($_POST['sponsor']))
  {
   echo "ENTER THE CODE TO BE DISPLAYED IF THEY CLICK SPONSOR";
  }
 else
  {

?>

            I would like to:
            <br />

            <form method="POST" action="ENTER PAGE NAME">
            <input type="radio" name="donation" value="donate" >Make a Donation
            <input type="radio" name="pay" value="tuition" >Pay My Child's Tuition
            <input type="radio" name="sponsor" value="monthly">Become a Monthly Sponsor
            <input type="submit" value="Get Info"/>
            </form>

<?php

  }

?>
