You can do that with Javascript instead. At that point you are still waiting for the user to enter some data, so you would want them to do so before sending it off to be processed by your PHP script.

It may be more appropriate if the name input field is already avaliable to be filled-out. You should bear in mind that a submit button (in the format of a submit button) will usually be expected to submit the page, not progress to another step.
