exactly as title says, I need to put php inside of the javascript that is echoed by php
ex:
<?
echo ('<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
if (something) then (some php)')
?>
thats not real code just might help get the idea and please note the best way to do what im trying is this way, if its possible.
You can't do that, PHP is a server-side language, that means it renders when the page loads and not after that.
The solution can be to call a PHP via AJAX, that PHP can have the case conditions and then it will render what you want.
Example:
The javascript (using jQuery):
$(".yourbutton").click(function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$.post("yourPHP.php", {var: somethingdynamicpassedviajavascript},
function(data){
//get ther result
$("#yourdiv").html(data);
}, "html");
});
What this does is place a click event into something with a class named "yourbutton", and when you click that, it will call an external PHP via an AJAX post, sending a var (in this example), you can send something dynamic, change the "somethingdiynamicpassedviajavascript" with some var.
PHP (yourPHP.php):
$myvar = $_REQUEST['var'];
//do your cases here:
switch ($myvar) {
case "1":
echo "this is for the case 0";
break;
case 1:
echo "this is for the case 1";
break;
}
Here you get that var, and depending on the case, send a different output. Notice that this may need to add a test for POST and other anti-vandalism methods...
yes you can do that.. your php scirpt generates/echoe the javascript code in your html page. You just need to play with single and double quotes and escape them properly In large scripts this is quite messy - better to put your js code in a seperate js file
if you're trying to dynamically create a javascript based on some conditions you're looking for something link this:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<?
if ($something == $somethingelse)
{
echo 'var something = 10;';
}
else
{
echo 'var somethingelse = 25;';
}
?>
</script>
if you're to execute php-code via javascript ... that can't really be done, at best you can use PHPjs to emulate php-functions.
Output the <script> tag like this:
<?php
function run_javascript($script_code){
print "
<script language='javascript'>
<!--
$script_code
// -->
</script>
";
}
run_javascript(" alert('I´m javascript here!'); ");
?>
u may try this
<?php
echo ('<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
if (something) then (some php)')
echo ('</script>');
?>
if(something == $php_variable) then ($php_variable_that_tells_js_to_do_something). The javascript will NOT run the php code, all php code will run before the JS.
