Example 2: run php function on button click
Button clicks are client side whereas PHP is executed server side, but you can achieve this by using Ajax:
$('.button').click(function() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "some.php",
data: { name: "John" }
}).done(function( msg ) {
alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
});
});
In your PHP file:
<?php
function abc($name){
}
?>
