PHP is a *server side* language, not client-side. An onclick is a client-side event. The PHP cannot be re-parsed and acted upon when you hit onclick in the way you are trying to do. You can either make the page reload (or go to another page) which runs the results of the button click, or you can perform some Ajax wizardry in the onclick event to call a remote PHP script and suck the results back into your current page. To be honest I'd start by reading any of the stacks of online PHP beginners tutorials out there before touching another line of code on this path.
