manix Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Why can't I use a function like that > function demote(){ $userprofile=$_GET['user']; mysql_query("UPDATE users SET adlevel=adlevel-1 WHERE username='$userprofile'"); } <input type='button' value='Demote' onclick='demote()'/> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240701-custom-functions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugix Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 you are trying to call a PHP function using javascript...this will cause unexpected results since PHP is Server-side and Javascript is Client-side Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240701-custom-functions/#findComment-1236292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
manix Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 It's actually like that <? function demote(){ $userprofile=$_GET['user']; mysql_query("UPDATE users SET adlevel=adlevel-1 WHERE username='$userprofile'"); } echo "some stuff before that <input type='button' value='Demote' onclick='demote()'/>"; ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240701-custom-functions/#findComment-1236296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugix Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 "onclick" is a javscript event and cannot be used with php. You will either need to convert your code to javascript or find a different method using PHP Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240701-custom-functions/#findComment-1236306 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZulfadlyAshBurn Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 maybe this might work? <script> function demote(){ <?php $userprofile=$_GET['user']; mysql_query("UPDATE users SET adlevel=adlevel-1 WHERE username='$userprofile'"); ?> } </script> <body><input type='button' value='Demote' onclick='demote()'/></body> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240701-custom-functions/#findComment-1236308 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fugix Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 this is the last time I will write on this thread, since you do not want to listen.

ZulfadlyAshBurn Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 you can actually use ajax if you want. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240701-custom-functions/#findComment-1236316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugix Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 you can actually use ajax if you want. yes AJAX will work, since it does not try to call PHP using javascript...but instead sends the data to a PHP page to be processed using the XMLHttpResponse Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240701-custom-functions/#findComment-1236317 Share on other sites More sharing options...
