如何使用Button运行单独的PHP文件（不是<form>中的提交按钮）

Question

I have this button which is not a submit button, just a regualr button and it is not inside a <form> tag.

<button type="button" id="send" class="btn btn-outline-blue btn-sm">Send</button>      

I need to execute a separate PHP file (send.php) when I click on the send button

I know how to do this if the button is a type="submit" and is inside a <form>

But in this kind of a situation, I can't think of how to do it. Please HELP...

Answer 1

Don't use a button. Use a regular link. Use CSS to make it look however you like.

Alternatively, make it a submit button and put it inside a form. The form doesn't need anything else in it. You can style the form to be display: inline if you like.

Alternatively, add a click event handler with JavaScript which assigns a new value to location.

Alternatively, add a click event handler with JavaScript which uses the XMLHttpRequest object or the fetch object to make an HTTP request without leaving the page.
