vozzek Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Hi everyone, I'm trying to use the include function for the first time, and I can't get it to work. I'm sure it's something obvious, but could someone please tell me what's wrong? I have two files: test.php which calls cart_functions_test.php (both are in the same directory). test.php <?php include('cart_functions_test.php'); ?> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Test Page</title> </head> <body> <input name="Click Me" type="button" value="Click Me" onclick="danny()" /> </body> </html> cart_functions_test.php <?php function danny() { echo "I am here"; } ?> When I click the button, nothing happens. What am I missing? Thanks in advance. Sorry for the duplicate post...

pocobueno1388 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Your trying to use PHP like it's JavaScript. PHP is a server side language as JavaScript is a client side language. Your going to have to make your danny() function in JavaScript and call it.

vozzek Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 Ah, okay. I wasn't sure if this was possible but was hoping it was. I know exactly what you mean. Thanks.

revraz Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 danny () is a PHP function, so you have to use <?php ?> in order to call it. You're trying to call it from HTML. Hopefully this will help you to resolve the issue. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/77491-solved-include-problem/#findComment-392268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajivgonsalves Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 if you really want to call a php function from html you'll have to use AJAX Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/77491-solved-include-problem/#findComment-392283 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vozzek Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 Okay, if I can use php to call a php function, can I do something like this? <form ACTION="view_cart.php" method="POST" name="addtocartform" id="addtocartform" onSubmit="return validateAddToCart(); <?php addToCart() ?>"> And if the validate fails, will it still execute the addToCart function?
