PHP + JS

I am developing a page using PHP, but now i need javascript to do some extras function like onclick. So, i need to know a varaible set used in PHP can pass to JS or not.....

Why not use your PHP to write your javascript, for instance:

<?

$someVar = "this";
$someVar2 = "that";

$strJS = "<script language="JavaScript">nn";
$strJS .= "var myArray = new Array();n";
$strJS .= "myArray[0] = $someVar;n";
$strJS .= "myArray[1] = $someVar2;n";
$strJS .= "alert("First val from PHP: " + myArrayp[0]);n";
$strJS .= "</script>nn";

?>

This is pretty simple, but note i didnt test this code so i probably forgot a or a semi somewhere so cut me some slack on it.

P.s.

I guess it would help to add this line:

echo($strJS);

Hope i was at least a little help.

Thanks for reply.

How about i want a value passing from javascript to php...like

<script=javascript>
var str ="This is a test";
</script>

and i print it using php like,

echo $str;

will it done????

<<
<script=javascript>
var str ="This is a test";
</script>

and i print it using php like,

echo $str;
>>


if you are writing the <<var str="This is a test">> in side java script then it will consider this as a java script variable.
so you can't call like $str.

that means this java script values will be going to the client browser.

Right now 'str' javascript variable is not carrying any value.This variable will be activated only in client side.

So you can't get that java script variable value in server side.

if you want to get the same value in php also,then you will have to assain this value directly to php variable.

All previous advice was correct - you can't combine a server-side language with a client-side one. I have only one thing to advise to you - pass your variable to a href which leads to your php file, in the form (for example) myfile.php3?lang=eng + 'MyVariable'. In an anchor, you have to combine it with <a href="javascript:....."
This is an example of how I combine Javascript and PHP to make a page modification script in two languages displayed in two frames:

<script>
function load(url) {
top.frames[1].location.href=url + '&lang=ru';
top.frames[2].location.href=url + '&lang=eng';
}
</script>

<select name="select" ONCHANGE="load(this.options[selectedIndex].value)">
<option value="text1.php3?cat=aboutme">Welcome page</option>

This script is in the first frame and controls the two frames below - they display the same page in two languages. You don't have to write a function for your case. I am not very experienced in Javascript, but you may even ask on the javascript forum on devshed how to do this.
Good luck
