Variable conversion PHP to Javascript.

[NorKayak]

Hi;

I'm a beginner and I'm getting a big headache figuring how to convert php variables into Javascript variables.
I want to use the content of $theName as the value for an input tag. $_SESSION['$Sess_Name'] is loaded with the right data, I verified it. But my function InitField returns always the word NULL.
Why is that? Where is the problem?

Thanks

function InitField() {
    <?php
	$theName = $_SESSION['$Sess_Name'];
    ?>
    var tempoVar = 	"<?php echo json_encode($theName); ?>";
    var myInput = document.getElementById('theName');
    myInput.value = tempoVar;
}

But my function InitField returns always the word NULL.

your function doesn’t have a return value.

PS. it’s quite odd to name an array key with a $, which usually indicates a variable. may lead to confusion …
