You don't. You submit a GET or POST request. It's up to you to
arrange that the code looks at the variables sent with the GET or
POST request and figures out that it needs to call the function.

You submit a GET or POST request. There is no onclick(): that's
JavaScript, which is (a) Turned Off (tm), and (b) unable to call a
PHP function without submitting a GET or POST request even if it's
not Turned Off (tm).
