Publisher and php

[Spike]

Reading through some of the requests for assistance I got interested in
looking at php files to solve some issues. I can resolve an issue that
someone posted by running a php manually. www.mydomain.com/doit.php

I cannot figure out how to get a publisher file to run a php file in the
background. I have tried a few html fragments with no luck. Searching the
web has not been successful either. I have used PHP form handlers that run
off of the submit button with success.

OK Folks! Has anybody figured out how to get a PHP to run in the background
on and HTM or HTML page.

Answered my own question
After a few more tries and reading the many help files on the web about JAVA
and PHP I came up with the following:

<script language="javaScript" src="XXXX.php"></script>

Pasted the above into the html fragment on the page and the PHP runs in the
background gathering information.
In this case the PHP file is in the same directory as the HTM page.
Posted this just in case someone else has the need to know.

Thanks for the information Spike. We can wait for you to answer all the PHP
questions now that you have become the resident PHP expert ;-). Someday I
might get around to playing with it...
