No. Thats what PHP is for.

PHP stands for Pre-client Hypertext Processor. As in, your web browser never sees the PHP code.
if you looked in your source, all you would see is this...

Code:

---

<button onclick="asd()">Test</button>
<script>
function asd() {
You fool !
}
</script>

You would need ajax to send the data to a php script, then put the result somewhere on your page.

Yeah... I forgot about the parsing part of PHP. But I still don't understand the whole running PHP when its needed part - for an example say I wanted to click a button and make the time from PHP show up - how would that be done ?

(I know that PHP does not connect with DOM but there should be a way to respond to things the user does - what can you really do with PHP apart from opening files closing them writing to them reading them ?)

Well is there anything else ???

Ok i was on the web and found this password script -

<form method="POST" action="example18.php3">
<div align="left"><p><font face="BankGothic Md BT">Admin password?</font>
<input type="password" name="pw" size="14"><input type="submit" value="Submit"></p>
</div></form>

How is this php script connecting to that -

<?
$adminpass = "test123";
if ($pw == $adminpass)
{
print("Welcome to the administration area!");
}
else
{
print("Wrong password");
}
?>

I wonder :)

im sure if you set a cookie you would be safer, that way you can check the cookie for the correct username and password

You misunderstand :), what i needed to know is how this works but now understand most of it and now instead need to know that if only one submit button is allowed in a form (then it would make sense to me on how the whole thing works)
