No you can't, you must use javascript and call a php script with ajax.Jérôme Teisseire– Jérôme Teisseire2014-10-01 18:46:01 +00:00Commented Oct 1, 2014 at 18:46

You have to do an ajax call and post that your PHP.
Example:
HTML:
<input name="blah" onchange="mainInfo(this.value);">
Javascript Function (AjaX)
function mainInfo(id) {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "dummy.php",
data: "mainid =" + id,
success: function(result) {
$("#somewhere").html(result);
}
});
};
PHP
<?php
if(isset($_GET['mainid'])){
mainInfo($_GET['mainid']);
}
?>

You can't execute PHP in the browser.
Do an AJAX call or POST to a PHP function on the web server, or write a Javascript function that executes in the browser.

you need to do it with JavaScript and send request to server. As HTML runs on client and php on sever.

You need to use jQuery for this, cant use PHP on client.
<input onchange="callphpfunction()" ..... >
<script>
callphpfunction() {
$.post("file.php",function(data) {
alert(data);
});
}
</script>
file.php
<?php
function phpfunction() {
echo $data;
}
phpfunction();
