PHP and Spry Validation

[jonnewbie12]

Does anyone know if you can incorporate PHP forms with Spry validation?

 

The basic spry text field that validates a number between say 1 and 300 works and is as follows:

 

<script type="text/javascript">

var sprytextfield2 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield2", "integer", {validateOn:["blur"], isRequired:false, minValue:40,maxValue:});

 

What I want is the max value to come from a form using PHP.  Weirdly I can get it working from a recordset as follows:

 

<script type="text/javascript">

var sprytextfield2 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield2", "integer", {validateOn:["blur"], isRequired:false, minValue:40,maxValue:<?php echo $row_Recordset4['max']?>});

  </script>

 

What I cant get is the value to come from a PHP form as follows.  It just doesnt work?

 

<script type="text/javascript">

var sprytextfield2 = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("sprytextfield2", "integer", {validateOn:["blur"], isRequired:false, minValue:40,maxValue:<?php echo $_POST["max"]?>});

  </script>
