Is it possible to execute a PHP script instead of following a link when clicked?

Yes, it is possible to execute a PHP script instead of following a link when clicked by using AJAX. You can use JavaScript to make an AJAX request to the PHP script when the link is clicked, and then handle the response accordingly without navigating away from the current page. ```html <a href="#" id="executeScript">Click me to execute PHP script</a> <script> document.getElementById('executeScript').addEventListener('click', function(e) { e.preventDefault(); var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open('GET', 'script.php', true); xhr.onreadystatechange = function() { if (xhr.readyState === 4 && xhr.status === 200) { // Handle the response from the PHP script here console.log(xhr.responseText); } }; xhr.send(); }); </script> ```
