need data from php file after clicking a button

[arnold geurtse]

Hello,

I'm pretty new in javascript en jquery.

i'm trying to upgrade a website.
for this site i need to load/build a foto gallery after a onclick event.

but i don't know how to do this.

i know how to read data from a mysql databast within PHP, i think i could create a array of this data.
but i don't know how to get this data(array) from the php file in my main page.

how could i run the php code after an onclick event, and how do i parse the data from the array to a data source (json)

below is a snapshot of the data source

	var source = {
		datatype: "json",
		url: 'data_load_gallery',
		datafields: [
			{ name: 'thumb' },
			{ name: 'image' },
			{ name: 'big' },
			{ name: 'title' },
			{ name: 'description' },
			{ name: 'link' }
	],
	id: 'thumb',
	async: false
	};

and the on click event.

             $("#jqxButton").bind('click', function () {
                   some code that run's a php file and get the data array into the above data source.
								
								});

i hope someone could help me with this, or point me to an example.

there is some code missing in the onclick event.

after reading the data from the php file it goes in this line

$('#galleria').data('galleria').load(data_from_php_file);
