JavaScript and PHP are both scripting languages but not much close that they can handle each other function though there are many ways to do simple task with PHP and js like: $sql = "INSERT INTO test_db (username,password) VALUES ('name','pass')"; if (mysqli_query($sql)) { echo "<script>"; echo "alert('Query succes')"; echo "</script>"; }else{ echo "<script>"; echo "alert('Query failed')"; echo "</script>"; } like this method i think we can call js function inside php echo "<script>"; echo "test()"; echo "</script>"; USING AJAX can be helpful too

PHP would not call a JavaScript function. They are executed in different places. PHP run on server, whereas JavaScript run on client pc.

PHP only parsing JavaScript code, it never can execute it.
