HTML-Reference to PHP-Function

[Anon]

Hi,

I want to generate a dynamic list of links to special html-files (a search-function). In javascript I would solve the problem with the following statement:

document.writeln("<a href=javascript:document.seite" + i + ".submit()>" + j + "</a> ");

How can I do that in PHP4? Is it possible to program a reference to a PHP-function? (e.g. something like
<a href=php:class_name::function('param1', 'param2)> text </a>)

I hope anyone can help me.

Hi Thomas

You can't do this in the way you understand it as PHP is a server-sided pre-processed language, therefore when it hits the browser, there is no trace of the PHP code left, just its result.

You could write a loop in PHP to generate multiple lines of HTML with javascript in them but you can't call a PHP function back from the browser, unless you do it as:

<code>
<a href="myscript.php?param1=param1value">Some Text</a>
</code>

If you outline your problem a little further and the result you want to achieve, I may be able to help a little further.

Hi James,

thanks a lot... I havn't thought of the server-sited executation of PHP. The instance of the class isn't memory-resistent. Perhaps you have an idear to solve the following problem:

I wrote a layout-class with a search-function for a database-application (mysql). When there is more than one hit, the user should decide which of the displaied items he is looking for. After his desisition the description of the item should appear.

Thanks a lot
