How to run a PHP function due to a button click with button data passed

Question

I manage some sortiment items on a page, they get displayed with a PHP script. I want an admin page that "toggle" via a sortiment table to display or not display an item. 
Scenario: if the button is clicked, I would like to start a php-skript. There should be a value passed to that script from where the button was clicked.
The table entry looks like this:

<tr>
    <td>Himbeerhonig</td>
    <td id="himbeerhonig">Ja</td>
    <td><button type="button" id="himbeerhonig" onclick="function()">press me to execute function</button></td>
</tr>```

(possible PHP pseudocode)
open SQL connection
   look for database entry based on the passed ID
   change the value of the found entry (!currentValue)
close SQL connection

*optionally*
refresh the <td id="himbeerhonig"> with the updated value. 

Can someone help me do this?
