Hi @sebastianbotez

You can’t run a php function in an onclick parameter on a button. That’s for javascript only. So you’ll either have to trigger a javascript function with the onclick parameter which in term does some AJAX in order for you to do the necessary php OR you’ll have to submit the form and let the function run if a POST parameter is set:

<?php
	
if ( isset( $_POST['submit-playlist'] ) ) {

	//Do your submit code in here
	
	$queried_object = get_queried_object();
	$id = $queried_object->ID;
	$name = $queried_object->post_title;
	$poster = get_the_post_thumbnail($id);
	$permalink = get_the_permalink($id);

	$field_key = "field_558aaa2515415";
	$user_ID = get_current_user_id();
	$value[] = array("field_558ab367b4756" => "Playlistul meu", "field_558aaa626db89" => array("field_558ab1d98bcfe" => $permalink));
	update_field( $field_key, $value, 'user_'.$user_ID );
}

?>

<form method="post">
	<?php if ( isset( $_POST['submit-playlist'] ) ): ?>
		<p>Thank you, your playlist has been submitted.</p>
	<?php endif; ?>
	<input type="hidden" value="<?php sanitize_text_field('submit-playlist'); ?>" name="submit-playlist" />
     <ul>
          <li>
               <button type="submit" ><img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/playlist-icon.png" alt="">Playlist</button>
          </li>
     </ul>
</form>
