PHP in Javascript?

[Cetanu]

Can you use PHP within Javascript? Say I want to make an box pop up containing PHP code (like a form?) can I use alert('') or the other pop up types to do this? >.>

 

Thanks!

PHP is executed on server. JavaScript on the client side (which usually means the browser).

 

So... no... not really. You can however use AJAX to communicate JavaScript in the browser with PHP on the server.

Okay, I'll go look into some AJAX. Thanks.

You can actually do this... you would have to use AJAX to make things change, but you can certainly pull data from a database and put it inside javascript code so that when the server loads the page it is there....

 

<?php

 

// go get data from server..

//all html code and crap here

 

echo '<script>alert("'.$dynamicDataHere.'")</script>';

 

// ending html crap here

 

?>

 

That is not to say that it can be changed dynamically with php (without the use of ajax).
