How can I do this? Echo with onclick php query

[TeddyKiller]

I have an echo, and on it's onclick I want to run a php query. Is this possible?

 echo '<div style="float:right; width:105px;"><a href="#" onclick="'
        .$r = mysql_query("DELETE FROM `horblewall` WHERE id=".$r['id']."").
        '">Delete</a></div>

 

It's displaying blank. Nothing there. Can anyone help?

No. PHP is server side, so that query is ran well before the javascript interacts with the client.

 

To do that you would have to have a file.php that the onClick calls or setup AJAX to handle it. Either or should work. The non-ajax method would require a "pop-up" window which you can make auto-closes or a page refresh. The AJAX version would not require either.

 

But this is not do-able with how you are trying to, since PHP is executed Server (before the client sees the page) and JS is executed on the client side (After the php code runs).
