PHP vs. JScript

[wisteria456]

I don't really have a question about JS, but more about how PHP functions compared to JS.

Is it possible for me to write a named function, like in JS?

I have a page that I would like to have buttons that use JS to trigger onClick events to load different PHP scripts... however, I'm not sure how to name a PHP function, nor do I know how to call one by name.

THe scenario is thus: I have users who want to edit their daily calendars. When they go to the page named "editcal.php", they are given a form with some fields on it that apply to adding new records, deleting old ones, and to editing existing records. When a user hits "Add" I want to run the "addrecord" script, ect.

Please advise. You guys are super.

Before i start.. Never compare a scripting language (Javascript) to a programming language (PHP)

Anyway..

A normal function in JScript would look similar to this

<script language="javascript">

function myfunction(){
  document.write("hello world");
}
</script>

And yes a php function is similar

#example function

function myFunction(){
  return "Hello World";
}

##calling function

echo myFunction();

Hope that helps

That was exactly what I needed to know. 🙂
