can anyone tech me how yo pass values from php script to javscript??

A simple output does the job :
[php]
<script type="text/javascript">
function hello(name) {
alert("hello "+name);
}
<?php
while ( $rec = mysql_fetch_ass oc($query) ) {
echo 'hello("',$rec['firstname'],'");', "\n";
}
?>
// or
hello("<?php echo $var; ?>");
</script>
[/php] -
we usually put the echo or print line in the value of a "hidden" text box.
and then you can reach it via javascript once the page has been written (remember javascript = runs on client computer, PHP executes on the server before its delivered to the client computer)Code:<input type="hidden" name="someVar" id="someVar" value="<?php echo $myVar; ?>" />
So the browser sees the page as
[HTML]
<input type="hidden" name="someVar" id="someVar" value="YOUR_MY_ VAR_VALUE_HERE" />
[/HTML]
and now JavaScript can access it this way:
Code:alert("Value is " + document.getElementById("someVar").value);
If you're printing this value elsewhere on the page, put inside a tag and give that tag an id for example:
and you can access that with the attribute "innerHTML" such asCode:<div id="container"> <span id="someVal"><?php echo $myVal; ?></span> </div>
if you STILL don't get it, Google: "miracle".Code:alert("Value is " + document.getElementById("someVar").innerHTML);

Just a thought.Originally posted by dlite922
Do you do this just to pass the values into JavaScript?
If so, you could simply add it to the header as a global variable.
Like:
[code=html]
<html>
<head>
<title>Test stuff</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
// Create a var in the global scope.
// Can be accessed by any Javascript that follows, anywhere in the page.
var phpValue = "<?php echo $someValue; ?>";
</script>
</head>
<!-- This should print the value when the page loads -->
<body onload="javascr ipt: alert(phpValue) ;">
<h1>Nothing to see here... move along</h1>
</body>
</html>
[/code]
Doesn't really make sense to me to add actual HTML markup for each variable, when you can simply add it to a Javascript block.Comment

i agree with atli ....
if u want to pass php value to javascript as parameter then u can do it this way...
say u have a function in javascript by name passPhpValue(pa rm1);
[code=html]
passPhpValue(pa rm1)
{
alert("This is PHP value:"+parm1);
}
javascript:onlo ad="passPhpValu e(<?=$phpvalue? >)";
[/code]Comment

You should not use this <?=$var?> (on its way to deprecation), but this <?php echo $var; ?> instead.Originally posted by samikhan83Comment

A good point, but the short-tags have not been made deprecated just yet.Originally posted by Gulzor
They will still exist in PHP6, but like in PHP5, they will not be enabled by default.
To use them you must reconfigure PHP.
So, like you say, using the short-tags should be avoided at all costs. By using the standard tags <?php ... ?>, you ensure that your code will always work as expected, no matter how the server is configured.Comment
