    Displaying reports with PHP

    Hi

    I want to create a two column table in php. On the left column is my
    navigation buttons. Each botton generates a report. I want to display this
    report
    in the right column. Each time I click a different button a different report
    will
    be displayed. How do I do this?

    THANKS!

      Here's a way, adapt it to your liking


      [code]
      <?php
      function do_report1() { echo '<p>report one</p>'; }
      function do_report2() { echo '<p>report two</p>'; }
      ###
      ?>
      <html>
      ....
      <table border="1"><tr>
      <td>
      <?php // column 1 (for buttons)

      // the form action should be a full URL -- but this works for tests
      echo '<form action="" method="post">' ;

      // later will use the button value to know what to report
      echo '<input type="submit" name="btn" value="one"><br/>';
      echo '<input type="submit" name="btn" value="two"><br/>';
      ###
      echo '<input type="submit" name="something _else" value="TRY ME TOO">';
      ?>
      </form></td><td>
      <?php // column 2 (for reports)
      if (isset($_POST['btn'])) {
      switch ($_POST['btn']) {
      case 'one' : do_report1(); break;
      case 'two' : do_report2(); break;
      ###
      default: echo '<p>No! No! Not that one :)</p>';
      } else {
      echo '<p>Please select a report from the left</p>';
      }
      }
      ?>
      </td></tr</table>
      ....
      </html>
      [code]

          Use a table with two columns to display each side. Use a templating
          system (PEAR, Smarty, FastTemplate) to build the parts and insert them
          there.
