call function

Okay I have a div, and in its onclick function I want it to call a php function in the head. How can I do that? And by function I mean, one of my own, not one of php special functions. Basically, in this function I want to assign some values to variables. How can I do this(the calling of the function thing)?

@MstrBobAug 16.2004 — Since PHP is preprocessed (meaning that all PHP script is executed before being sent to the client (browser)) It cannot execute based on on-page user-excutions, unless the browser requests another PHP page. That's what client-side scripting is for. If you want to call a PHP function onclick, you'd have to do something like:

<div onclick="window.location="currentpage.php?div=true"></div>

currentpage.php being that current page. At the top of the page you have:

<?PHP

myfunction()

{

/*your function stuff here*/

}

if(isset($_GET['div']) && $_GET['div']===true)

{ myfunction(); }

?>

But it can't be triggered without a reload.
