JavaScript/PHP interaction problem

I'm having trouble getting data to "echo" within JavaScripts.

Example:

The variable is not being printed onto the page.

Another example:


However, where just a standard link appears, the variable is printed just fine:
<a href="./main.php?temp=<? echo $temp; ?>">Home</a>


So, I can only assume the JavaScripting is causing some sort of trouble with the PHP. Is there anyway way around this? How can I have my variables which the page receives via a query string printed in the URLs of the links to complete those query strings?

nope.

javascript, can not at all trouble PHP. PHP is parsed on server side before javascript can even come to picture.

btw this code you have put up from your php file ??
i think it should work.

jd

you mean it's printing exactly this?
<a href="./main.php?temp=<? echo $temp; ?>">Home</a>

make sure php is being parsed by the server for that page. other than that, it should've worked..

just for fact, i like to make short echo's like "<?=$temp?>"
It just looks better.

I had similar problems recently. However the solution was in correcting my HTML which had gotten out of whack so the javascript could find its targets.

jdk is right, it has nothing to do with the java, It can't. I don't know what I was thinking, just deperately trying to find a solution, I guess.

It just so happens that all the places the variable is supposed to be printed happen to be in JavaScripts.

It is just blowing my mind... The page is called with a query that defines the variable. I know it is successfuly received because it uses that variable to inculde it's template. The template itself calls for the variable a few more times, to be printed within the query strings of a few links. It does not appear, the url appears, but the variable is not printed. However The template calls a page which contains all the navigation links. That page should also print the variable into the strings, and it DOES.

That is the confusing part. I can't figure out how the variable is used to incude a page and does. The variable is not recognized on the included page, but IS recognized on the page that it includes.

It is set as a global variable:

<?
global $temp;
?>

And to make matters worse, I have 9 templates so that people can select skins, and on 2 of the 9 skins, everything works fine. I swear there is no difference in how I set up all the templates. I wrote all the PHP on the first template, then copied and pasted it onto the other eight, and the original is one of the ones not working.

It must be some stupid and frustrating simple little error on my part, I'll figure it out sooner or later.
