I want to trigger a php function like this-
"If I click Here" (it can be a button or link)
// then this function would work:
<?php
function a(){
$b=10;
echo $b;
}
?>
How can I do that without ajax ? (I don't want to reload the page.You can show me way to put that php function inside javascript too if required)
-Thanks.
"Edit" : Would it be possible by php cURL ?
It can't be done in PHP without reloading the page or using Ajax. The only alternative is converting that piece of PHP code to Javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
function a()
{
var b = 10;
document.write(b);
}
</script>
<input type="button" value="Click Me!" onclick="a();">
PHP Code example.php:
<?php
function a()
{
$b=10;
echo $b;
}
if (isset($_GET['run_func']))
{
a();
}
?>
HTML Code:
<a href='example.php?run_func=a'>Click Me</a>
javascript is client side language (executes in browser), while PHP is server side (executes on the server). To execute the PHP a REQUEST has to be made on the server
This can be done by visiting a url, or by invoking ajax call (which does the request)
If you want to execute a function or a call you have to make a request to that php file.
So, you put code in my_php_fle.php and then do a request via link
<a href="my_fle.php"> If I click Here </a>
However, you will have no result as you still have to make a call to php function.So, your my_file.php needs to look like this
<?php
function a(){
$b=10;
echo $b;
}
a(); //executes your function
?>
