trying to call a php funcion from a library onclick using js

Hi all,

is it possible to call a php function from a library using javascript, i am trying to do this in a form, using the submit button.

any help much appreciated thanks.

Yes and no. :)

You can't simply call a PHP function since PHP is processed server-side and JavaScript is processed client-side. You could, however, make an AJAX request to a PHP page, and have that PHP page return only the results of your function.

yeah i knew they worked differently i didnt want to put the script in its own page if you like i wanted it to be in a library,

thanks for the help
