PHP is a server-side language (i.e. Perl when used with mod_perl), not a
client-side language (i.e. JavaScript). All of the processing is done on
the server BEFORE it is sent to the user. Therefore, you can't call a PHP
function directly from a web page after the user has received it, since all
of the processing has already been done.
