calling java script functions using PHP

shivram_narayan

How to call the java script functions from the php script?
or is it possible to call the PHP function when the Mouse Event ( as ONMOUSEOVER(),ONMOUSEMOVE() ONCHANGE() ) is performed?
If it is possible please reply to me

I'm replying even though it is not possible - not the way you describe it.

PHP runs on the server. Javascript runs on the client (the browser). These are two different machines, probably on different parts of the planet, and the protocol they're using to communicate (http) doesn't provide that kind of intimate interaction between them.

The only way a Javascript function can send anything to a PHP function is if it causes the browser to request a new page from the server (usually by making the browser submit a form). Having PHP in an event handler is no good, because the browser would have no idea what to do with it. The server would probably get confused, too, because it may try to run the event handler itself before it sends the page to the browser.

Using PHP to control Javascript is slightly easier (though still restricted). As far as PHP is concerned, the Javascript in a page PHP is creating is ordinary text like any other part of the page. PHP can write Javascript functions however you want. But it can't run them, because the server has to send them out to the browser first - and once that happens they're out of PHP's control. What you can do, though is make sure that a Javascript function is called as soon as the page is loaded. You can do this by putting a call to it in the <body> tag's onload handler.
