calling a php function from an event??

[Anon]

Is it possible to call a php function from an javascript event such as:

onmousedown="do stuff"

I have tried to use the following:

<?php
echo"<select name=\"xyz\" onchange=\"";
create_names($company_id);
echo"\">";
?>

which doesn't work...I have also tried other variations.

Please help!!

PHP is a server side acripting language...
Jscript is a client side scripting language..

you can only call a php function from a java script if you request something from the server ( as another page or something )..
You could use a Jscript to reload the page on change, so the php script could be executed.. but can´r run php client side..
