Hi,
I'm new here and to PHP, just trying to get some good PHP knowledge. It'd be nice if I could receive any sort of help.

I am having trouble making a code piece work:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

function onMouseOver()

{

    echo "<script type='text/javascript'>window.alert('Mouseover called')</script>";

}

?>



<a href='blahblah.php' onmouseover='"<?php onMouseOver() ?>"'> <img name="item1" src="../aboutus.bmp" /></a>

In the code above, I'm simply trying to call the function onMouseOver(); using the onmouseover property from href. The problem is that the window.alert function is being called when I enter the page when it is supposed to call the window.alert function when I mouseover the image?

I even tried to put the whole code in php:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

function onMouseOver()

{

    echo "<script type='text/javascript'>window.alert('Mouseover called')</script>";

}

?>



<?php echo "<a href='blahblah.php' onmouseover='".onMouseOver()."' > <img name='item1' src=../aboutus.bmp' /></a>" ?>

Still doesn't work? For some reason!

Any ideas, anyone?!

Edit: Nevermind, I found a workaround.

looking at the function i dont see the code is suppose to call the windows alert when the mouse is scrolled over.

for future readers, just to let you know that PHP is a server-side language. It cannot be activated from within an HTML document, it only runs when someone accesses a page, and is used to create dynamic contents on the page to send to the user. therefore, by calling the php function above, the code within the php function was executed and the <script>...</script> was added to the page before being sent to the user.

I'm also new in php and I wanted to learn more. I saw some site that are .html extension but a it has a php code in it and that's what I want to find out.

Thats a setting within a number of HTTP daemons like Apache and litespeed. You can set which file extensions are handled with which script parser (such as PHP). You can set any file extension to be parsed with PHP, ASP, CF etc.. which is why you sometimes see websites with non-standard file extensions such as .page. This effect can also be achieved with .htaccess files if you want to use this feature without access to the daemon config settings.

I am agree with vanguard, how you call a php function from a client side mouse over detecting from a server side script.
But you can do it by using a javascript to detect mouseover at client side and let that javascript to call a php function.It is possible to do so.
