Karl:

As others have answered, no php doesn't work that way.

However, you can still send/receive strings through a url via a 
$_GET) and direct the actions of a receiving php script and you can 
do the same thing via a $_POST.

As such, a "php:someFunction()" could be a:

url?php=someFunction

Where the receiving script takes the command and runs someFunction().

However, I would shorten it a bit and say

url?php=18

Where php would be the command to run a function and 18 would be the 
function you want to run.

So, while you can't use the same syntax as javascript, you can get 
the same performance.
