You pass a GET parameter in the url to dictate what item is increased, and then issue an insert or update statement.

You add a querystring to the link for whatever name the $image_id has been extracted from. Make sure you filter it through mysql_real_escape_string too.

So you cannot change the HTML, but want to change what the HTML does?
Why can you not change the HTML?

function countclick($advert_id)
{
include ('config.php');
mysql_query("UPDATE adverts SET clicks = clicks + 1 WHERE advert_id = '" . $advert_id . "'") or die(mysql_error());
You don't. The first code is PHP which is server side, and the second one is a client side link. The href in that link has to target a PHP script that is capable of calling countclick.
Perhaps that javascript countclick has some ajax or something that calls the PHP script?
