can you insert PHP script to Java sript

[drranch]

I have a PHP drop down select list script that uses the default client side formatting but I would like to jazz up what my customer sees.

I've seen many Java script menu builder applications out there, but I don't know that I can impart PHP to these scripts. can anyone help in giving me a small example of how to marry Java script with my PHP drop down select list script.

Here is the PHP script...

<?php
$dogs = mysql_query("SELECT nick_name FROM dogs WHERE username='$uname'", $connection)or die(mysql_error());
echo "<select dogs='nick_name'>";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($dogs)){
echo "<option> $row[nick_name]</option>";
}
echo "</select>";
?>

you could pass the option values as an array from php to js and then let js build the dropdown instead of php.

example:

[code]
<?php
   $x = 'blah';
?>

<script language = 'javascript'>
var x = <?= $x ?>
</script>
[/code]
