Display php on same page it is being requested

[bobrivers2003]

I am tyring to create a page that contains a buttin and when clicked call some php script and displays the results underneath the button on the same page. The php creates a table. I want the table to appear when the button is clicked not when the page is loaded.

Any ideas or pointers?

<input type="submit" value="Enter">
<div style="overflow: auto; width: 700px; height: 200; border-left: 1px gray solid; border-bottom: 1px gray solid;

padding:0px; margin: 0px\">
<table class="sortable" id="unique"width=500>
<tr><th>header1</th><th>header2</th></tr>
<?php

exec('ls' , $output, $return );


foreach ( $output as $line)
{

echo "<tr class=\"line\"><td class=\"line\">";
echo $line;
echo "</td><td class=\"line\"><input type=checkbox name=\"array[]\" value=".$line.">".$line."</td>";
echo "</td></tr>";
}

?>

</table>

Thanks in advance

Just add an IF statement that checks wether the button was clicked.

say your button is as follows:

<input type=submit name=pressed>

Then you would check for it being pressed as:

If(isset($_POST('pressed'))
{
echo "whatever it is you want to show"
}

else
{
display the form.
echo "<form action=button.php method=POST>...";
}

}
