Echo javascript

[jkkenzie]

I would like to know how i can echo the below javascript in php;

function validate ( form ) {
    if(form.name.value == ""){
      alert('Please fill in the field');
      form.name.focus();
      return false;
     }
    return true;
  }

<?
some code here
?>
<script language="javascript">
function validate ( form ) {
    if(form.name.value == ""){
      alert('Please fill in the field');
      form.name.focus();
      return false;
     }
    return true;
  }
</script>

Is there anyway to echo variables in the JavaScript?

 

(I know I'm not helping towards a solution here just curious while we're on the subject)

OR

 

<?php
// Some code here

echo <<<END
<script language="javascript">
function validate ( form ) {
    if(form.name.value == ""){
      alert('Please fill in the field');
      form.name.focus();
      return false;
     }
    return true;
  }
</script>
END;

// more code here
?>

Yes, you can echo variables in the javascript.  Just put your variable in the script, and it wall automatically replace it for you (just like it should).

<?php
some code here

echo "
<script language=\"javascript\">
function validate ( form ) {
    if(form.name.value == \"$myVar\"){
      alert('Please fill in the field');
      form.name.focus();
      return false;
     }
    return true;
  }
</script>";

There is no need to echo the WHOLE thing...i think it's cleaner this way:

 

<?php
  //code
  $myVar = 'ABC';
?>
<script language="javascript">
function validate ( form ) {
    if(form.name.value == "<?php echo $myVar; ?>"){
      alert('Please fill in the field');
      form.name.focus();
      return false;
     }
    return true;
  }
</script>
