Calling functions from buttons

[Anon]

In Javascript I am able to call a function(ie.from a library) when the user submits a button or press a key. In PHP I send varibles to the library (ie. basket.php?action=delete) and then I make an
if ($action="delete")... Is there a way to execute these actions from functions (as in Javascript) instead if using ifs...?

I have been looking in the manual but I can´t find the answer.

I isn't sure I know what you mean.

But you can make the script making a action without reloading your site. (You can etc. reload a "hidden" frame, so the user can see the reload).

You have to get into a action to the webserver, because PHP is a serverside language, and not like JavaScript a client language, there the actions is done at the client, and not at the server.

Hope you understand, else please reply :o)

no way...for simple reason:
php= server side
javascript= client side
reloading the page lets you talk to the server.. even using hidden fields, you still have to reload the page
i hope thats clear
