Re: Why Doesn't My Javascript Work With PHP?

It looks like the Javascript function, horseWindow() will be redeclared more than once. Can you be a bit more specific about the "it dose not work". Can you capture the output of the php script and mail it to the list? Have you changed version/OS/db since the old server? ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben Ocean <beno@cnw.com> To: <jasonc@webpipe.net> Cc: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2000 12:22 AM Subject: Re: [PHP] Why Doesn't My Javascript Work With PHP? > At 01:55 PM 8/22/2000 -0700, you wrote: > >You should remember that PHP couldn't care less about JavaScript.
