How to run PHP code (within same script) when HTML button is pressed

Really quick question, how can I run a line of PHP code when an HTML button is pressed. What I am trying to do is destroy a php session (to log the user out) when the logout button is pressed.

Thanks!

Basically you need to call js function which will be executed when you press the logout button. That will redirect user to logout url. and that url/script will destroy the session and redirect user to homepage.

If you want to use the button, then you should send a form to specific URL address where the session will be destroyed. If you want to use a link instead of a button, then you can point a specific URL address where your session code will be destroyed. All depends on your application architecture. But in one word, you need to send HTTP request to a place where the session will be destroyed.
