Just using php, is it possible to
create a button via html that reacts to the user’s input, for example, if the user clicks the button 4 times, something is suppose to happen, or do I need javascript.
Likewise if the user clicks the button twice or three times something different is suppose to happen, is this possible, if so, what do I need to read?
Yes it is possible with just PHP. You could carry the state of what has been inserted along with sessions or put it back into the form so that it’s submitted with the next insertion.
