如何在JavaScript中调用PHP函数？

I have

index.php

<select id="year_list" name="year_list" onchange="check_year_event('year_list', 'event_list');" > . . .  </select>

<select id="event_list" name="event_list" onchange="check_year_event('year_list', 'event_list');" > . . . </select>
.
.
.
<?php 
 function checkYearandEvent($year, $event) {
  $year_event = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM year_event WHERE year = '$event' AND event = '$event'")

  if (mysql_num_rows($year_event) > 0) {
   // do this
  }

 }
?>
<select id="year_list" na
