Re: Variable assignment!

Y'know the thing didn't work and I was just trying out the small thing again and again and finally left it out. Yesterday, however, I tried something like the following: <script language = "JavaScript"> function SomeFunction(someval) { alert(someval); } </script> <? $somevar = 4566; ?> <html><head><title>some title</title></head><body> javascript:SomeFunction(<? echo "$soemvar"; ?>) </body> </html> and it did gimme an alert having the value "4566". How about that? -Ramender Kishore ----- Original Message ----- From: cmoewes@moewes.com To: Ramender Kishore Cc: PHP Mail List Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2000 6:44 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Variable assignment! What happened when you did that. The only thing that might have happened is if the php variable was a tring, it doesn't appear that you are using quotes around it <script> var someting = "<? echo $readmatter?>" </script> I see you have quotes inside the php section, but those get ised by the echo statement. you could do <? echo "/"$somematter/"" ?> But that is harder to read.
