Call PHP function in <a>

[Grego]

I have an <a> tag and I want to call a PHP function (defined at the top of the page) in it. I tried using "OnClick='del_image(4)'" but that didn't seem to work. Is there a way of doing this?

From the sound of it, this is a javascript issue. So if it is, this would probably get better answers over there.

 

Some code would also be helpful.

No. Sorry. It's PHP.

 

The PHP function is:

 

function del_image($arg1) {
mysql_query("DELETE FROM images WHERE ImageID='$arg1'");
}

 

 

And the call is:

<a href='user_index.php?qry=3' OnClick='del_image(4)'>[Delete Image]</a>

OnClick is used in javascript so I think you're going to have to add some Javascript code in there...

[Grego]

Can I call the PHP function in JavaScript?

 

Or is there another way to do it? With or without OnClick

No! PHP is a serverbased language and Javascript is a browserbased language. So the only way is to use AJAX or doing it something like that.

Try this...

 

<?php

$id = $_POST['id'];

 

$delete = mysql_query("DELETE FROM `projects` WHERE id='$id'")

or die(mysql_error());

 

header('Location: http://somesite.com/project.php');

 

 

 

 

<a href="main.php?id=<?=$row['id']?>" onclick="alert('Do you want to delete')">Delete</a>

 

?>
