Re: php in <head>

I don't think you can do that at all with PHP because it need to be processed by the PHP engine (server side).

Re: php in <head>

so, when i write php, it must be written down in the body, so when loaded it is able to communicate with the server?

so php functions cannot be called when you need them?

PHP is executed on the server, not in the browser. So it doesn't matter where you put it. If you want something executed in the browser you must use JavaScript.

Re: php in <head>

You can look up AJAX, which is php functions executed on the fly by javascript.

That's probably what would work for you.
