creating js variable with php

[ColeenChaos]

...snip...

function myFunction(){
    newPageTitle="New Title";
    document.title = newPageTitle;
    }

next...

title.php

I have a small php script that runs a local command and outputs a simple text string.

next...

I run myFunction every 5 seconds. 

setInterval(function(){
    changePageTitle();
    }, 5000);

The question:

rather than the above function setting the page title to "New Title", how do I set it to the output of title.php?

 

Thanks.

What does title.php look like?

If title.php is the only place that knows what the new title needs to be then you'll have to make an AJAX request to it.

requinix. Yes. How do I form that ajax statement?

I figured it out:

 

<script type="text/javascript">

function loadlink(){
    $('#track').load('tracktime.php',function () {
         $(this).unwrap();
         }
    );
}

function changePageTitle() {
     newPageTitle = 'New Page Title';

     $.get("tit.php", function(data){
     document.title = data;});
}

loadlink(); // This will run on page load
setInterval(function(){
    loadlink(); // this will run after every 5 seconds
    changePageTitle();

 }, 5000);

</script>
