using php to check is a javascript file has been loaded?

Is it possible to check if the js file is already loaded in a page using PHP? Because I have some block on my page that needs the js file. So if the js file is not loaded then don't load this block.

It's something like this:

if js file is not loaded then don't execute this php script else execute this php script

You can't.

PHP sends an HTML document to the client then the client then handles the HTML and makes HTTP requests for any JavaScript files.

Redesign the block that depends on the JS to make use of progressive enhancement. Writing your JS so it is unobtrusive will help with this.

Thank you very much for the info. If it's not possible, is there a way to run javascript even there are so many plugin like in firefox to prevent javascript from running? Is ajax the answer for this? Can ajax run even there are plugin that preven javascript from running on a page?
No. User preferences to block JavaScript would be pointless if pages could override them. Ajax is a buzzword that means, more or less, "Using JavaScript to make HTTP requests" so you can't use it without JavaScript.

You could keep track of successful JS files in cookies or pass the details to future PHP files. Otherwise, PHP is server side and JS is client side.
