Even if the PHP code you're executing is through localhost, because PHP needs the server to run, it has to be run on the server, and exposing functions directly like this would expose all sorts of security issues (imagine calling up a getUserDetails() on a website you're not logged into for example, which would mean every function of a system would need some sort of user auth check and would slow the whole thing to a crawl) Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

Very good point. Thanks Ash. I figured it was because of the whole pre-processing part of PHP. Thanks for the explination. Best, Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm http://designdrumm.com

However, you can still send/receive strings through a url via a $_GET) and direct the actions of a receiving php script and you can do the same thing via a $_POST. As such, a "php:someFunction()" could be a: url?php=someFunction Where the receiving script takes the command and runs someFunction(). However, I would shorten it a bit and say url?php=18 Where php would be the command to run a function and 18 would be the function you want to run. So, while you can't use the same syntax as javascript, you can get the same performance. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com/
