<?PHP //some statements like sql statements ?>

Hi Gurus,

Please tell me what to do when its needed to run PHP server scripts in the condition statements of JAVA script..

When I enter any PHP script in the body of a function of javascript and want that to run only when some conditions are met, its not happening... it runs whether the condition is met or not... I mean the if statement is simply not being checked!!..

eg:

<script-javascript>
function start(){

if(document.option.blah blah..)
{
<?PHP ech "Hi Mayu"; ?>
}

}

.
.
.
.
.

PHP runs on the server and is run before the browser sees the javascript to run. If you want to do something like this, you need to look at AJAX programming, which allows javascript scripts to run another script on the server that returns information back to the script.

Hi kenrbnsn,

What is that AJAX programming? is it a new concept or a new language? plese tell me how and where to get more information on that to get my current problem solved..

AJAX is not new, and it's not a specific language. It is a combination of JavaScript and calls to backend scripts, whether it be Perl, PHP, ColdFusion, etc.
