Is there a more efficient way to achieve the desired outcome without using a PNG file to call a PHP file?

Using a PNG file to call a PHP file is not the most efficient way to achieve the desired outcome. Instead, you can directly call the PHP file using an AJAX request in JavaScript. This will eliminate the need for an additional PNG file and simplify the process.

<?php
// Your PHP code here
?>
```

```javascript
// AJAX request to call the PHP file
$.ajax({
  url: 'your_php_file.php',
  method: 'GET',
  success: function(response) {
    // Handle the response from the PHP file
  },
  error: function(xhr, status, error) {
    // Handle any errors
  }
});
