@Programming_PadawanDec 31.2021 — #JavaScript is client side programming and PHP is server side programming. The client side code is loaded into and executed by your web browser. Server side code remains on the server. The two are not in the same geological location at run time.
In order to execute a PHP function from JavaScript you will need to make a request to the server. This can be done through the JavaScript "fetch" function. With fetch you can send a request to the server for a specific PHP script to be executed, and receives the response. 'fetch' is JavaScript Promise based so I would recommend you become familiar with JavaScript Promises.
PHP usually runs through modules installed in an Apache web server. I am using JavaScript for my dynamic user interface and PHP is doing all the hard work on an Apache web server loaded on my Debian Linux system. There **might** be a Node.js module for PHP.
Hope this helps

Calling a PHP page through Javascript
Dear all,
I must call a PHP page with a Javascript command.
I developed a function that does almost exactly what I needed:
View code: Example 1
But in the last part where it makes me “view” (document.getElementById(‘showResult’)) only the result, I need to do it in a way that instead calls me another PHP page, where it will execute the instructions passed in this page.
//Example 1
“`
function getCheckedValues()
{
return Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(‘input[type=”checkbox”]’))
.filter((checkbox) => checkbox.checked)
.map((checkbox) => checkbox.value);
}
const resultEl = document.getElementById(‘result’);
document.getElementById(‘showResult’).addEventListener(‘click’, () =>{
resultEl.innerHTML = getCheckedValues();
});
//Link that should I call through the function:
<p>
