HTML call PHP Funtion in other File

Question

I would like to call a PHP Function in a other file than the HTML Button.

I'm stuck here

HTML File:

<form method="POST" action="../php/appl_functions.php" onsubmit="return confirm('Sind Sie sicher?');">
     <button type="submit" class="btn btn-danger" name="delete">Galerie Löschen</button>
</form>

PHP File:

function deleteFotogalerie(){
     db_delete_fotogalerie(getSessionValue('fotogalerie_id'));
     return runTemplate("../templates/fotoalben.htm.php");
}

How can I call deleteFotogalerie() From the HTML file?!

You can't.

HTML is a client side markup language, where as PHP is server side language. Within HTML you can only call JS functions directly.

What you need to do is make API which perform some specific required task and call this API as XHR from HTML page to perform task.

One easy way to do this using jQuery AJAX : http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/

Call it like this: <?php deleteFotogalerie() ?>

Add that file before you do this, like this

<?php
  include 'File1.php';
?>
