Calling a PHP Function from HTML...

[madcat]

Hi:

I have this piece of code in my index.php page:

<td colspan="2"><a href="#" title="">Enter More Numbers &gt;&gt;</a></td>

What I'd like to do is call a function that sits at the top of the page when this link is clicked. How do I do that, I have no idea...

Can I put something like <a href="'$_server[php_self]'" title=""></a>

...I'm unable to test this out here, so any help is appreciated. I know PHP is server-side, but how do you call a function from a normal HTML link...is there a better way to do it?

Thanks-

You can't call a server side function after the page is processed and sent to the browser.

You can have the link re-load the page with a variable set that tells the php script to run that function on the next page load.

You can only call client side functions (like JavaScript functions) from client side actions.
