A Javascript and PHP problem

Calling a PHP function from a javascript script

[technossomy]

I have a function in javascript called "foo" and a function in a PHP include file called "foo2" and I want to call foo2 from foo in an event:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function foo( str ) {
var strOnclick = "<?php foo2('" + str + "');?>";
return "<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"" + strOnclick + "\"><img src=\"mypic.gif\" alt=\"" + str + "\"></a> ";
}
</script>

The value of strOnclick is correct, with proper apostrophes included. Yet, the debugger mentions a syntax error. Is there another way of what I am trying to achieve?

Thanks in advance

The problem is that your javascript is evaluated on the client and the php is evaluated on the server. Executing your javascript code will only put a value into the onclick that it can't evaluate.

You should have the javascript post a form and have php code that interprets the post on the server and executes foo2.
