Simple - UD Function with Select / Option

[Michael Hoffmann]

Hello,
As you might guess I am completely new to this language. Maybe I get some
help here.
I try to execute a user defined funciton from a select option in a document
to read a file
into an array without using a submit button or anything else.
like this:
<select name="sel[]" onchange="<?php ReadFile(DependingOnValue);<?" >
<option value="1"> 1st Quarter </option>
<option value="2"> 2nd Quarter </option>
<option value="3"> 3rd Quarter </option>
</select>

I know I could use Javascript instead. But I am sure there is an easy way
doing in PHP.

Many thanks for your help

Michael

You're wrong. PHP only executes on the server, when the form is submitted,
i.e. there is a request to the server. onChange is a client-side event that
does not cause a request, unless you use JavaScript to submit the form.
