How to call a JavaScript function from PHP?

Answer 1

Thats not possible. PHP is a Server side language and JavaScript client side and they don't really know a lot about each other. You would need a Server sided JavaScript Interpreter (like Aptanas Jaxer). Maybe what you actually want to do is to use an Ajax like Architecture (JavaScript function calls PHP script asynchronously and does something with the result).

function loadxml()
{
    result = loadScriptWithAjax("/script.php?event=button_clicked");
    alert(result);
}

// script.php
