[RESOLVED] run a php script through html link

[Dragoon1]

is it possible to run a php script through a html link

I tried doing this

<a href=
<?
script stuff
?>

Link</a>

but it runs the script every time the page is loaded, I want the script to run only when the link is clicked.

why not make the link to a php page, so it will run when visited

you can use isset() to check if POST or GET hash is set. or whatever you need to be checked.

The problem with your original logic was that PHP is a server-side language; it doesn't know what a 'link' is, let alone when a user 'clicks' one. All PHP code is executed on the server, and then the output is sent to the browser.

Don't forget to mark this thread resolved, if it is.
