Very Elementary Php Mail Question

[butterflybill]

In a HTML document, you can put in a <input type="button" and then use the onClick to = a javascript function that you have in your header or external .js file. Can you do the same thing with a php function in a php file? Do you have to </php in and ?> out somewhere among the HTML tags? Do you have to define the function in a certain place? I am trying to get it to call up a function that includes sending me an email with mail("etc") when the viewer clicks on it, and I can't get it to work.

HTML and JavaScript are client side scripts while PHP is server side. So no you can't directly call a PHP function from HTML. You could probably use JavaScript to do an AJAX request and perform whatever PHP function you need to do, though.
