How to call a PHP function when a button is pressed?

?

[gelwa]

<Your Form>
<INPUT type="submit" name="submit" value="SEND" >
</Your Form>

your form processing page should look like
if( isset($_POST[submit]) )
{
process
}

thanks, but I already new that, I wanted to know if you could call a function without processing the form like in javascript where you could just call a function in onclick="jsfunction"

[jowatkins]

doesn't Gelwa's post pretty much do that

<Your Form>
<INPUT type="submit" name="submit" value="SEND" >
</Your Form>

your form processing page should look like
if( isset($_POST[submit]) )
{
process
}

Just change

if( isset($_POST[submit]) )

to if (isset($Buttonname))

PHP is a server-side process. If you want to do something client-side without submitting the data to the server, use Javascript.

PHP is serverside you have to have a exchange of info between the client and the server to be able to trigger anything in PHP...
Or use an IE popup window and combine Jscript and PHP but...
