Menu
Currently I have the following but it doesn't like me very much:
1. index.php:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<div id = "bookList">
<?php
include("list.php");
?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
2. list.php:
<?php
echo '<button id = "read">Read</button><br><br>';
echo
"<script type=\"text/javascript\">
$(\"#read\").click(function()
{
alert(\"<?php display(); ?>\");
});
</script>";
function display()
{
echo "hello";
}
?>
As is hopefully obvious from the code I posted above, I am attempting to create a button using php which when clicked on will in turn call a php function. I have not been successful as of yet. Any advice will be appreciated but I'd like my code to stay as close to what I currently have as possible.

Some basic misunderstandings here. PHP and Javascript does not interact like that
Let me give a rather silly analogy:
addSugar().Everything is cool here. Now what happens in this second scenario:
addSugar()...? erm...Well the shopkeeper aint there. In the same way, when a page reaches your browser, it has left the coffee shop. There is no PHP/shopkeeper around anymore
Your request to addSugar() that you are trying on button click using Javascript will not work.
What you will need to do is use something called AJAX which is a way to quickly run to the coffeshop just for adding a little sugar.. Its a broader topic and you will need to read about it, but there are tons of resources out there..
