PHP and Javascript

Hi all,
I'm in front of a strange problem that I'll try to explain.

I'm using PhpNuke and I wish to do the following thing. I wish to include an external javascript and it's quite simple to do it in Php:

PHP Code:


		
			
echo "<script language=\"Javascript\" src=\"external.js\"></script>";

The problem is this: I wish to set a variable for the external JS which has to be parsed first from Php.

Just to clear my intent:

Code:

// this is my external.js

function Ripristina() {
document.form.monitor.value=""+varText;
}

How can I define varText in php?
I am asking that as I try (with no results) this way:

PHP Code:


		
			
echo "<script language=\"Javascript\" src=\"external.js\">\n";

$varText = translate("Bla bla");

echo "varText = \"$varText\"\n";

echo "</script>";

I hope there is someway else to do this trick and I hope someone more expert than me knows how.

Regards.

F*CK. Sorry, but the software running this forum once again crashed when parsing my post, and naturally, going back doesn't work on this bloody site, so my post was lost. Goddamn.

Anyway. What you need to do is this (pseudo code):
1. Print out a script type="javascript" tag in which you set your javascript variable.
2. Print out another script tag like the one you're using now, with the source.

Do it in that order, you need to make sure that the javascript variable becomes available in the referenced js file.

Thanks.

It solved my problem.

Why didn't I think about it before?

Thanks for your suggestion.

Bye.
