IF THEN for button?

Is it possible in PHP to do the following?

I've got a php page with a form, that form has radio buttons group and
an option group list. It also have a button, Continue.

When the continue button is presed I want it to look at: this:
If Radiobutton1 is pressed and option group lsteditorial is selected,
goto write-editorial.php
if Radiobutton1 is pressed and option group lstpres is selected, goto
write-press.php

and etc... for other combinations, so based on the selections of the
radio buttons and option groups goto a specific page:

here is my code:

If you do this in php alone you have to submit what you pressed and then
go to yet another page after analsying it all.

This seems to be to be a case for javascript.

HTML cannot do this. Once you have served your page, it is HTML and php has
nothing more to do with it. You can use client-side scripting to
accomplish something like what you want. You cannot have one set of radio
buttons with different actions because to get different actions, they would
have to belong to different forms. What you can do is have the one action
(select.php) generate different pages according to the radio button and
other controls.

Or to put it another way: HTML is markup. It is not a programming
language. It has no conditionals. If you want conditions you have
implement them with client-side scripting or server-side scripting;
but you cannot do it with HTML. An HTML form can only "goto" one place:
the url given for the action attribute. Client-side scripting can alter
that goto according to conditions, or server-side you can generate different
documents to return based on the POST or GET data, but in that case you get
the different returns when "goto" the one handler given in the action
attribute.

This would be abundantly clear if you learned HTML before trying to get php
to generate HTML for you.

This is how I would do it:

if(is_set($_POST)){
switch ("on"){
case $_POST["RadioButton1"]:
if($_POST["1stpres"] == "checked"){
echo =
"";
}
break; =20
case $_POST["RadioButton2"]:
//doit again
break; =20
}
} else {
// Display HTML FORM.
}
?>

I should probably point out that "option group" was probably the wrong =
phrase to use here.
HTML Select's have something called option groups, but you didn't use =
them here.
You just used straight-options.

Paul, without a doubt, you should be doing this with JavaScript.

If you need any help with the code, let me know.
