if isset button

I'm trying to make the $sql variable change once the button with the name 'lang_en' is submitted, so it goes from selecting the 'eng_text' tab to select the 'it_text' tab, but it doesn't seems to work. Can you help?

<?php

include 'includes/conn.php';

if(isset($_POST['lang_en'])){ $sql = "SELECT * FROM it_text"; } else{ $sql = "SELECT * FROM eng_text"; }

$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);

$row = mysqli_fetch_all($result, MYSQLI_ASSOC);

var_dump($sql);

?>

<a href="#" type="submit" name='lang_en' class="w3-circle w3-margin w3-padding bg-img w3-display-topright" style="background-image: url('img/italian_flag.png')">IT</a>

this is what's there in conn.php: <?php

$serverName = 'localhost'; $userName = 'root'; $password = ''; $database = 'pers_text';

$conn = new mysqli($serverName, $userName, $password, $database)
