[SOLVED] Send a variable to a function from an echo statement

[grs5211]

I want to send a variable concatenated with some text to a javascript function.

 

Clearly this will work.

echo "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='javascript'>errorMessages('This is not a valid ID);</SCRIPT>";

 

However I want to do this:

echo "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='javascript'>errorMessages($_REQUEST["UserID"] + '  is not a valid ID);</SCRIPT>";

 

Any ideas?

Sure. Do this:

 

echo "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='javascript'>errorMessages(<?php echo $_REQUEST["UserID"]?> + '  is not a valid ID);</SCRIPT>";

Sorry, I made one mistake. Please change as:

 

echo "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='javascript'>errorMessages({$_REQUEST['UserID']} + '  is not a valid ID');</SCRIPT>";

Hmm... this is a hard one. :-\ Looks like you sort of solved it, but had a brain freeze.

 

echo "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='javascript'>errorMessages('{$_REQUEST["UserID"]} is not a valid ID');</SCRIPT>";

Just put in the quotes correctly with some PHP variable interpolation syntax.

anupamsaha, I tried your code first and it did not compile.
