Mikey, Not sure if this is EXACTLY what you're looking for, but I do something similar w/ PHP4. Basically, I don't pass php values out to the javascript source, BUT I have my php-script output valid javascript back to the browser... Instead of returning a full set of HTML headers, body, etc., I simply return a bunch of document.write() tags and function code (if that's what would normally be in the .js file) I make my php script output look exactly like the relevant Javascript source file. Then, when including this php-script in plain HTML pages, I simply add the line (just like regular javascript client-side includes): <script language="Javascript" src="myscriptgenerator.php3"></script> To the browser, the php script result looks EXACTLY like a pre-existing javascript sourcefile, but on the server-end, this source is dynamically generated.
