Re: javascript and PHP

All you can do is use PHP to print out Javascript code. <? $data = "hello world"; ?> <script language="javascript"> var something; something = '<?=$data?>'; </script> etc...It's no different than using PHP to print out HTML code. Now, if you want to get that Javascript variable "something" sent back to PHP, you have to assign it to a form element or tack it onto a URL. ---John Holmes... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Buehler" <steve@vespro.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 11:29 AM Subject: [PHP] javascript and PHP > Does anybody know of a good/short tutorial about passing variables from > JavaScript to/from PHP?
