Running php script and javascript onClick

Question

I have the following line of code -

<a href="/wordpress/wp-content/trackclicks/clickcounter.php?var=<?php echo $var3; ?>" onclick="return popitup2();">Grab Coupon</a>

But suppose i want to redirect the current page to an external link and also run the php script and the javascript function.Is something like this possible -

<a href="{@extlink}" onclick="/wordpress/wp-content/trackclicks/clickcounter.php?var=<?php echo $var3; ?>; return popitup2(); ">Grab Coupon</a>

You are looking for Ajax. Here are the docs for the JQuery variety.

Either use javascript to call the clickcounter using ajax, or move the redirect into your click counter script, eg:

clickcounter.php?var=<?php echo $var3; ?>&redirect=example.com

so this redirect would be passed to the php script as a GET variable same as var?
