Yes. This is possible through a collection of technologies known as AJAX, i.e. using Javascript's asynchronous communication ability.

There are already a number of pre-built libraries that allow you to do this with ease. One of the most common is Prototype, also just google AJAX and you will find hundereds of libraries, tutorials and guides to help you.

Jamie Lewis's answer is a good one, but I will say that he is addressing to JavaScript while answering. I think the pure PHP solution is following:

You create a PHP file (myFile.php) where you get some arguments with GET method. And Your HTML form should have a button that calls following:

myFile.php?agrument1=10&argument2=20

SO HTML will pass arguments to your PHP file and you should get that arguments and call a function with that arguments.

For more details see (sending arguments with GET/POST methods ).
