essentially, no.
PHP runs server side and the action of a form is generated client-side. To
run a PHP function the page needs to be resubmitted. The code you have
written will run the function before the page is submitted. try something
like ...
<?
function myfunction()
{ if($submit)
{ $result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO app
(name,company,address,suburb,state,post,areacode,phone,faxarea
code,fax,email,secret) VALUES
('$name','$company','$address','$suburb','$state','$post',
'$areacode','$phone','$faxareacode','$fax','$email','$secret')");
}
}
if ($thissubmit) myfunction();
?>
<form action="#?submit=<?php echo($submit) ?>&thissubmit=1">
