Re: javascript, php and mysql

hello, javascript is a strictly client side language...meaning it's not at all dependant on the server that's running it, nor does it really have any ability to work with/access the server running it. the only way to really mix php and javascript is by placing your php within javascript code .if you're gonna do this in a .js file, make sure your web server recognizes '.js' as a valid php extension (if you're using apache, you'll need access to your apache config files). here's an example: <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript"> function showTotal() { document.products.totalProducts.value='<?=$totalProducts;?>'; alert('There are currently <?=$totalProducts;?> products.'); } </SCRIPT> -jake "Prince" <friendly@kaltelnet.net> wrote in message news:004501c30b8e$bad09800$5304a40c@andy... > hi... > > was just given a chance to see/try a little javascript with a few simple > scripts.. its pretty cool and seems not very hard to use but is there a way > that you can mix php/javascript in a single script? how would you use both > of them together either way it goes and does anybody know if javascript has > any mysql functions like php does? > > >
