Bringing external data into html

[agabrel]

I hope I am on the right forum for this.
I am just learning php and trying to create an html page with buttons.
when different buttons clicked I want different text to show up within the html in a designated area.
Is ip possible to do with php or shuld I use another application and if it possible where can I find tutorial for that?

w3schools (http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_intro.asp) site is a good reference to start learning from it.
