Is it possible to call a PHP functions you create, in a Javascript?

[Repins]

Basically I have this javascript that makes my images load pretty, but I would like to add my little 'rating' php function on the window the java script loads.

I know one is server side and the other isn't but is it possible?

Yes it's possible. Welcome to the horrible world of AJAX.

Thanks Vershun!

with ajax you can call a function, say "rating.php" and stream back xml/json data, parse it with js and load it on your page. it's not always fun to code but when it's done it's slick.

gmail is a good example

See, I want to use LightBox (what wordpress uses to display images) to display images when a user clicks a thumbnail on a page, and have a 5 star rating function show up on the window lightbox uses to display the image.

Lightbox=js
voting=php

I wonder if it's worth the effort.

AJAXing something this simple isn't worth it.

You could have the clicks on the rating system redirect to a script.php?star=4 and then have the php script pass you back to the voting page..

Agreed. I will just put the voting below the thumbnails.

Thanks everyone for the replies!
