You can not call PHP functions through a href which is used for linking web pages. You need to create a new file or use a switch in your current file for search input, with the function in it. So that you can link to that URL, not the function itself. You can use AJAX as well, to send commands to a php file and get the results in xml/text, but again you need to call Javascript there, your logic is totally wrong.
