you are confusing server-side PHP with client-side JavaScript. You can
certainly execute a JavaScript function called showmy() on clicking an
HTML form button, but to execute a sever-side PHP script, you have to
send the web page back to the server.

Look up a basic tutorial on server-side vs. client-side scripting for
further help.
