call the function when user clicks the link

[rajendernreddy]

Hi All,

I want to call a php function when user clicks on a link.
Here is my code please help me out.

PHP function

function createLink()
{
//creates symlink to the video file

return $url;
}

HTML code

<a href="<?=createLink()?>" >play</a>

It is creating a symlink on pageload but i don't want that until user clicks the link.

Any help.

Thank you and looking for solution.

Raj

php is server side, the user is on client side. This will reload the page and run the php function if the link haspressed.

<a href="?play=1">Play</a>

<?php

function playthat()
{
code to play something
}


if(isset($_GET["play"]))
{
playthat();
}
?>
