:) I am designing a php page and i need to incorporate the "like" button to the page. I tried using

document.getElementById("text").innerHTML="unlike";

and my link:
<a href="#" id="text" onclick="myFunction()">Like</a>

this only changes the text to "unlike".
Please any suggestions or like would be really appreciated

:)

What do you want your 'like' button to do? As an alternative you could always add a 'recommend this in google' button. Of course you need to create a goggle account for this.

To, for instance, display a count of 'likes' on your pages, you could to store the count in a MySQL database on your webserver. When your page is loaded read the value of that and display it. Also when the user clicks 'like' use jQuery and Ajax to call another .php page which will increment your count in the database and return the new count to be displayed. There are a lots of examples, tutorials and videos on doing these things around on the net.
