Script inside of a php if statement?

[inkfreq]

I need to valid a field before executing a <script>, but I'm confused as to how to do it. This is what I have so far..

 

<?php

if ($node->field_image[0]['fid']) {

<script type=text/javascript>

var objLink = new myC_Remote.BuyLink();

objLink.LinkContent = '<img src=\"http://www.domain.com/mycapture/images/remote_Buy_this_Image_2.gif\" alt=\"Buy this Image\" />';

objLink.IsAboveImage = false;

objLink.LinkClass = 'field-items';

objLink.PricingSheetID = '2041';

objLink.Render();

</script>

 

}

?>

 

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

php runs on the server, long before your markup (including javascript) is sent to the browser (client) and any javascript is executed.

Assuming the JS is not part of your PHP logic, just output, then you're able to just simply close the tag:

<?php if ($node->field_image[0]['fid']) { ?>
<script type=text/javascript>
var objLink = new myC_Remote.BuyLink();
objLink.LinkContent = '<img src=\"http://www.domain.com/mycapture/images/remote_Buy_this_Image_2.gif\" alt=\"Buy this Image\" />';
objLink.IsAboveImage = false;
objLink.LinkClass = 'field-items';
objLink.PricingSheetID = '2041';
objLink.Render();
</script>
<?php
}
?>

 

Much easier than echoing it in a string or using HEREDOC.

oni-kun, thank you! That's exactly what I was missing.
