The reason you can't is because PHP is on the server and Javascript
is local (e.g. the browser).
Even if the PHP code you're executing is through localhost, because
PHP needs the server to run, it has to be run on the server, and
exposing functions directly like this would expose all sorts of
security issues (imagine calling up a getUserDetails() on a website
you're not logged into for example, which would mean every function
of a system would need some sort of user auth check and would slow
the whole thing to a crawl)

I see. Very good point. Thanks Ash.
I figured it was because of the whole pre-processing part of PHP.
Thanks for the explination.
