PHP + Javascript(?)
Hi all,
I am relatively new in PHP and I have come into a problem, that, I think, is solved by using Javascript
The problem is the following:
I have a form where the user inserts a query, e.g :"Retrieve all tha names of the students".
The next page, which is written in PHP gets the result, e.g: "Nick", "John", "Mary".
What I want to do is to have something like a small box near each name, which the user can tick and then see the student's page for examlpe.
It is sort of a 'select button', and the user can select one or more students to view their pages.
Q1: Is this done with Javascript only or can I use PHP as well?
Q2: Because I don't know anything about Javascript, is there any short code that can do my job easily?
Thanx in advance

If you use PHP it would have to be a link or button (something that needs clicking) as PHP does its thing before the page loads.
I believe it can be done in Javascript, would be a hidden div so you click and the link appears. If you want a select type box (option to view several homepages, details etc) then it could be done in either but PHP probably the better way

I am not even sure I understand what you mean.
When the results open, do you want to just open the students pages in a new window? or do you want them to be ticked, and then one click opens them all?
