calling function

[Anon]

I am having a problem with calling a function. here is the code
<?
include ("config_theme.php");
include ("mysite.php");
Function savefile(){
$newcontent = stripslashes($newcontent);
$newfile = fopen($filelocation,"w");
fwrite($newfile, $newcontent);
fclose($newfile);
echo "Text was sucessfully edited.";

		}

This is where I am trying to call it
echo"<input type=submit value=save onClick= savefile($newcontent)></form>";
My goal is when the user clicks the save button it calls the function savefile. Any suggestions?

First thing,
you cannot call a php function like it\'s a javascript function, so that onClick event will not work. php is server-side, javascript is client-side

try using this form tag at the top
<form action=\"save_file.php\" method=\"post\">
and use save_file.php (created by you) to handle all the data that was input.

perhaps you should check the manual for some ideas

Thanks for the help. I will try that out.

You will also need to send the function $newcontent. It will have no idea what that is.
