You can greatly benefit from a framework supporting AJAX.

As author of Agile Toolkit I can recommend you to try it, the code would look like this:

$button=$page->add('Button');
if($button->setLabel('Create Directory')->isClicked()){

    if(mkdir('/tmp/123', 0777, true)){
        $button->js()->univ()->alert('Directory Created');  // executes JS code
    }else{
        $button->js()->univ()->alert('Problem');  // executes JS code
    }
}

Other frameworks may offer other ways to simplify AJAX and keep it in one file.
