I'm sorry, but you can't. Php is a server-side language not a client side one as Javascript is, so you can't simply run a php function clicking a button. <br />
&nbsp;Maybe you can tell what does that function and I could find a solution to use it - maybe... :-)<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

I didn't want to use ajax. I just wanted to run some php code when I click the onclick event link but don't need a return ... I would just add an alert saying &quot;Done!&quot; or something link that.<br />
<br />
I actually need something simpler than that.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

You can't directly. You need to post back to the server and call the function serverside. PHP is a server side language and javascript is typically a client side language. The client side script interacts with the page and the clientside DOM only. It doesn't interact with anything server side.<br />

onclick execute php function

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
