rhodesa Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 A javascript file can't directly use that variable like PHP can. In this case, they are doing one of two things. 1) The .js file is actually a server side script. This means that even though it's a .js file, they have configured their webserver to treat the file as a server side script (like PHP). Their server side script can then read that GET variable, and return a javascript file. 2) Less likely, the javascript is parsing that value from the HTML in the page. After the page loads, you can grab the SCRIPT elements with document.getElementByTagName('SCRIPT'), search for the one you want, then parse the value off the src attribute Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114479-solved-addres-questionmark/#findComment-588682 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhodesa Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 yes...easiest way to do this, it just make a PHP script and use the header() function [code=script.php?ident=9iUiaa]<?php //It is good to send the content type, but i don't think it's needed header('Content-type: text/javascript'); print "alert('ident is set to: {$_GET['ident']}');"; ?> and it put it on a page: <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="script.php?ident=9iUiaa"></script> </head> <body> ... </body> </html> ...the file doesn't have to be a .js file. but, once you get the above working, you can use Apache's mod_rewrite to 'mask' it as a .js file [/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/114479-solved-addres-questionmark/#findComment-588889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
