RE: [PHP] calling a function in the same page

Hi, Are you trying to use PHP as a client scripting language? What you are doing cannot be done with plain PHP, you have to invoke JavaScript or similar to make a HTTP request and then parse it. Search Google for "AJAX" and you could get it working using that. Prototype is a easy to use JS library that you can do "AJAX" requests with and then do what you want with by DOM. /Peter -----Original Message----- From: Jahangir [mailto:jahan9@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, December 24, 2006 5:34 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] calling a function in the same page I am trying to call a function from "a href" inside the same page. this is the code: echo "<br><br><a href=\"isearch($query)\">More results from Mysite</a>"; // calling the function isearch function isearch($query) {$query=urlencode($query); $request='http://api.search.yahoo.com/WebSearchService/V1/webSearch?appid=Ja hangir&query=' .urlencode($query).
