Load into a table??

Including into a table
I am working on a test project to help me better understand php.

what I want to do is, have my links change the data from the main table in the center of the page. http://www.digitaldefiant.com/images/layout.gif

So with the layout idea that I have included. I want the links on the left hand side to change the information in hte main table (labled 1).

Is there a way that I can do this with php, because I really dont want to use iframes.

Any information or help anyone can give me is greatly appreciated.

Pretty simple actually. All you need to do is set up a switch or an if statement looking for values passed through the browser.

if ($GET["action"] == "foo") {
$table_data = '<table> blah blah blah....';
}
else if ($GET["action"] == "bar") {
$table_data = '<table> blah blah blah....';
}

then just add the action to your links:

<a href="mypage.php?action=foo">

The only problem with this is that the page will have to be reloaded every time a link is clicked. JavaScript might be better for this, but then you have browser issues to deal with.
