Execute snippet on button click

Hello,

your PHP snippet tool works generally very well for me, but there is one problem that I cannot resolve. I want to place a “Download” button on my page. By clicking it, a PHP script should be excecuted that creates the download Content. Usually, one would do it like this:
```
<form action="download.php">
    <input type="submit" value="Download">
</form>
```
When I try this with PHP Code snippets and I replace the download.php with the shortcode, i.e.

`<form action=[wbcr_php_snippet id=”9″]>’

it does not work. Can you enlighten me how to run a snippet while clicking on a button?

Thanks,

Stefan

Hi,

Create a snippet to run everywhere with this code:

function wbcr_cheeco_download_action()
{
  if( isset($_GET['wbcr_cheeco_download_action']) ) {
    // Insert here your php code, which must be executed
    echo 'Download file'; // remove str
    exit; // remove str
  }
}

add_action('init', 'wbcr_cheeco_download_action');

Paste such a link into the form by changing the domain of the site to your
http://yoursite.com/?wbcr_cheeco_download_action
Example:

<form action="http://yoursite.com/?wbcr_cheeco_download_action">
    <input type="submit" value="Download">
</form>

Best regards, Alex
