Running php function on button click

Question

I want to run the php function when a button is clicked. eg:

<input type="button" name="test" id="test" value="RUN"  onclick="<?php echo testfun(); ?>" /><br/>

<?php

function testfun()
{
   echo "Your test function on button click is working";
}

?>

My question is that when I do this, I do not get the expected result that I was looking for. Please give me the best solution for this to run the php function on a button, whether it is simple buttonor click submit.

Answer 1

I tried William's code, thanks brother.

but it doesn’t work like a simple button, I have to add a form with the method = "post". Also I have to write submit instead of a button.

here is my code below ..

<form method="post">
    <input type="submit" name="test" id="test" value="RUN" /><br/>
</form>

<?php

function testfun()
{
   echo "Your test function on button click is working";
}

if(array_key_exists('test',$_POST)){
   testfun();
}

?>

Do it:

<input type="button" name="test" id="test" value="RUN" /><br/>

<?php

function testfun()
{
   echo "Your test function on button click is working";
}
if(array_key_exists('test',$_POST)){
   testfun();
}
?>
