#8378 — On click button in php

<form name="myform" action="details.php?id=<?php echo $id ?>" method=get>
<li><a href="#">
Enter Id:<br/><input type="text" value="Enter Id Code"  name=id onfocus="if (this.value == 'Enter Id Code') {this.value = '';}"></a>
<?php echo $id ?>
  </li>
  <li>
<a href="#"><input type="button" onclick="<a href='details.php?$id=' ></a>" value="submit" style="margin-left:4.0em;"></a>
   
Problem:

The text box is accepting the id code and when I press enter it is activating the details.php but when I click the button (the submit button) nothing is happening.

Please help me.

onclick executes javascript code on the client.  PHP runs on the server 
(and is NOT javascript).

Change this

to:
<input type='submit' value='submit' style="margin-left:4.0em;">

Of course not. onClick is an event handler and you have to use
JavaScript there.

“onclick” is an event-handler attribute (for the “click” event of the DOM), 
and unless the HTML version is HTML5, one can use any scripting language in 
its value.  ECMAScript-based scripting languages like JavaScript are best 
supported, though.

Theoretically - yes. In the real world ECMAScript-based scripting
languages like JavaScript are the only useful choice, since none of the
current browsers except Internet Explorer support anything else out of
the box.

To make it more clear: ECMAScript-based languages like JavaScript are
not only the "best supported" ones - they are the ONLY possibility in
the real world and it does not matter if is theoretically possible to
specify another language for the event-handler and if there is one(!)
known browser to support VBScript instead of JScript.

You are mistaken.  Companies are using that fact to their advantage.

It is still possible.  A “real world” argument is, of course, a common 
fallacy.

Man context

The OP did not talk about a company intranet.

Unless the client side is under control as in e.g., a company intranet.

Which is just one special use case - and i doubt the OP is involved in 
creating something for a company intranet ;-)

so do I, but its amazing the responses I got when I was doing just that, 
and people 'assumed' that the only valid use of php was for publicly 
globally accessible websites...

'dont use javascript or cookies: they may not have them enabled: don't 
just code for IE6/7/8 and firefox, they might have opera or safari: 
remember to make provision for blind people and people using smart 
phones and tablets..' etc etc.

All of  that is irrelevant when you know that only 5 sighted people all 
on IE6 and/or Firefox with at least 1024x768 screens will ever be using it..
