HTML + JS + php ?

[Daniel]

Hi all,

I create a new component and I need to include a JS function in a HTLM code to execute a php file....

I suppose that I must write it this way :

HTML : <input type="button" value="<?php echo JTEXT::_('NEXT'); ?>" onclick="name_of_my_js_function(); set_spans_show('sp_number3','','sp_number4','next');" >

JS : function name_of_my_js_function ()
{
????
}

php : my_file.php

My question is : what should I write in the JS code to execute my php file ?
I do not need to display anything on the screen, just need to execute it in backend.

Thanks in advance for your helping hand.
Regards

Hi Daniel,
If you want user to stay on the same page, probably you want to send
an Ajax request

onclick="new Request({ url: 'uri_of_php_file.php'}).post();"

This is very simplified (you won't know if request succeeded, or what
is the response), more info: http://mootools.net/docs/core/Request/Request

Just keep in mind that the user has to be logged in the backend and
have appropriate priviledges, or ACL will block the action.
