 * Hi all
 * I have created a basic wordpress site hosted directly from my Raspberry pi and
   I am using Maxbuttons.
 * I simply want to call a php file which is in the host directory from the click
   of a button. The php file contains a python command.
 * The closest I have come is I have triggered the php to execute from the button
   click by adding a direct url to the file ([http://myipaddress/file.php](http://myipaddress/file.php))
   and this has worked however a blank html page is opened which I dont want.The
   user must not be redirected away.
 * What is the simplest way to call a php file from a button click in wordpress?
   OR how can I call a url without actually directing away from the page?
 * Thanks !!
