Calling php function from <div> tag

[leaboy12]

I have a php page (lib.php) that contains a function (function downloadToCSV()) that will grab data from the database a place it into a CSV file.

On the same php page (lib.php) i have i <div> tag where i want to call that function (function downloadToCSV()).

What is the correct syntax in the <div> tag to call that function??

I don't see how a div tag is related to a php function

What exactly do you mean ???. Do you know the difference between clientside and serverside?

I do know the difference PHP is sever side and HTML is client side.

oh you can do this

 

echo "<div>blabla</div>";
// or
echo '<div>blabla</div>";

echo '<div>blabla</div>";

Thats code snippet makes no sense. Your secound echo will not work as its invalid syntax.

Are you wanting to call that function when the user clicks on the div? This is not possible with PHP, PHP is unable to respond to events happening on the page. The only way you can do this is by using AJAX (using the xmlhttprequest object in javascript).

 

You need to be more clear on what you're wanting to do.

oh sorry mate.. but its the simplest... but the 2nd echo has no " at the first
