calling php function from form

[doobster]

Hello I am wondering if this is possible

<input type=button onClick="scramble()" value="Scramble">

scramble being a php function. I am using the type button as this won't cause the form to be submitted. or do I have to use <?=scramble();?>

Also wanted to ask is it possible to retrieve form values inside a PHP function.

I know in javascript you can use document.formName.fieldName.value. Is there a way to do that in PHP without submitting the form?

<input type=button onClick="<? scramble(); ?>" value="Scramble">

more like that 

yes you can get form varibles into a php funtion just do somthing like this...

function form(var, var2, var3) {
echo $var.$var2.$var3;
}

form($_REQUEST["var"], $_REQUEST["var2"], $_REQUEST["var3"]);

the above is after you submit the form, you cannot get the info like in java since php is server side not client Its why most Php programmers just submit abck to the same page and do somthing like this
