***Solved*** File download using PHP

[alex4orly]

I am trying to call a PHP function from a button click... Not working
Add into the button Inside Tag : onclick="<?php echo download('memberslogin.php'); ?>"

Trying to call the function :

<?php
function download($filename)
{
.....
}
?>

You cannot call a PHP function via JavaScript.
JavaScript runs in the browser, PHP on the server.

Is OnClick JavaScript?

@alex with this being said and you still need to download a file(s) the following URL describes and gives a demo/download of how to achieve this using a protected page. Maybe by downloading the demo zip it will help you to achieve even if it means you have to modify it. Note that Navaldesign is on holiday I believe so any questions you may have about this will/go unanswered till he returns.

Yes, onclick is JavaScript.
Note that PHP code is not send to the browser. It is processed on the server.
