PHP javascript link onclick

Heyy guys … I need a piece of php script to be exicuted when a link is clicked on…

e.g.

<a onclick="phpstuff()">delete Item</a>

You can't, PHP is ran on the server, not the client. However, if you use AJAX you can do what you need.

are you suree?? ive seen it done …. im sure .. Hmm k … i suppose ill just use php Get or something

you could make that jscript load a new page with the php…. what are you trying todo?

<script>
function phpstuff(){
  <?php
  echo "my php stuff<br />\n";
  ?>
}
</script>

<a onclick="phpstuff()">delete Item</a>

dw .. thanks guys i done it like this :

viewer.php

  <a href=deleteitem.php?id=$id>Delete Item</a><br>  
  <br></b></font>
        ");
	}
?>
</center>```

then deleteitem.php

```markup<?
require "config.php";
	database_connect();
    $id = $_GET['id'];
	$sql = "DELETE FROM contact 
				WHERE id = '$id'";
	$query = mysql_query($sql)or die("There was a problem while deleting: ". mysql_error()); 	
?>```

The problem is, is that the code will be executed even before the link is clicked. Not a very good idea.

i think what you want is:

<script>
function phpstuff()
{
window.location="thephp.php";
}
</script>

and have the thephp.php redirect back to your page but really, i would do it with $_GET….works mo betta
