Displaying tasks in conjunction with a radio button(may be beyond the scope)

My goal for a little personal challenge was to make the php script display only the tasks based on the radio button that was clicked, but I am unsure as to how to make the radio button click run a php function then display it the webpage. And upon clicking of another button, erase the old information and display the new information. If it is way beyond the scope of this course(PHP Arrays and Control Structures) and covered in another one, I would appreciate knowing which one. I am going down the php track currently.

The functions and code I have is the following:

PHP

<?php
include 'list.php';

$radiobuttonvalue = 'value_of_radio_button_from_webpage';

$order = array();
foreach($list as $key => $item){
    if($item['complete'] == $radiobuttonvalue){
        $order[] = $key;
    }else{
        $order = array_keys($list);
    }
}

echo "<br>";
cho '<table>';
echo '<tr>';
echo '<th>Title</th>';
echo '<th>Priority</th>';
echo '<th>Due Date</th>';
echo '<th>Complete</th>';
echo '</tr>';
foreach($order as $id){
    echo '<tr>';
    echo '<td>' . $list[$id]['title'] . "</td>\n";
    echo '<td>' . $list[$id]['priority'] . "</td>\n";
    echo '<td>' . $list[$id]['due'] . "</td>\n";
    echo '<td>';
    if($list[$id]['complete']){
        echo "\t-   yes";
    }else{
        echo "\t-   no";
    } 
    echo "</td>\n";
    echo '</tr>';
}
echo "</table>";
?>

HTML

<input type="radio" name="records" value="true" class="displayValue">Completed Only<br>
<input type="radio" name="records" value="false" class="displayValue">Not Completed Only
<input type="radio" name="records" value="allrecords" class="displayValue">All Records
