how to send a variable from PHP to jQuery - php

The Idea is:
<script type="text/javascript">
var supervar = 'u can reach me anywhere on the page';
</script>
[...some PHP and HTML...]
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#output').html(supervar);
</script>
so basicly i need it because I use php includes and need to send the exact location of my PHP file to jQ.

Your supervar variable is already in scope inside jQuery, because it is declared above the jQuery script. The question is how to assign a variable from PHP and pass it over to supervar. Inside your .php file, you can simply escape into php when needed within the <script> element.
For example, if you want to assign is the public path of your PHP script, you can do something like:
<script type="text/javascript">
var supervar = <?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>;
</script>
Your server will execute the php script before serving the following output to the client:
<script type="text/javascript">
var supervar = '/your-app/your-file.php';
</script>

echo in jquery doens't output as expected

I found on stackoverflow how to use a php variable in jquery, but on my test page, it simply isn't working:
$('#q').keyup(function(e) {
var test = "<?php echo 'test123'; ?>";
alert(test);
});
The code above outputs "" literally in the box where I want it to say "test123". I tried using single quotes instead of double, other small changes ... Didn't get it to work. Am I missing something?
The code above sits in a .js file which is linked in a .php page, which is (again) linked in my index.php file via require_once.
You should not use PHP in javascript files (.js). Javascript and PHP are different languages. PHP works on the server-side and Javascript on the client-side.
You have to put this code in your <head> under the jquery.js file, like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="link-to-jquery-file.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#q').keyup(function(e) {
var test = "<?php echo 'test123'; ?>";
alert(test);
});
</script>
Also make sure your file extension ends with .php
There is also an advanced solution for this, and that would be using the header() function. Save as javascript.php or someting Example:
<?php
header("Content-Type: text/javascript");
?>
$('#q').keyup(function(e) {
var test = "<?php echo 'test123'; ?>";
alert(test);
});
Then attach the file in your <head> like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript.php"></script>
Goodluck!

Can I insert PHP and javascript code in the same HTML file?

<HTML>
<script language="JavaScript">
<script language="php">
</script>
</script>
</HTML>
<HTML>
<script language="php">
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
</script>
</HTML>
I want to insert PHP and javascript code in HTML code like above.
Can I do this work??
It doesn't work like that, you can have them in the same file per se, just not like you have.
PHP is executed on the server and the result is sent to the client, whereas the JS code is executed by the client's browser.
<?php
//php code in here is evaluated and the result sent to the client
$somevar = 1234;
?>
<HTML>
<script language="JavaScript">
//javascript in here is evaluated by the client
//you could insert PHP values here to be used in JS if you want
//make sure you escape them though...
var some_js_var = <?php echo $somevar; ?>
//the JS var above would contain the value of php variable $somevar
</script>
</HTML>
<HTML>
<script language="JavaScript">
<?php
// Your PHP code here that outputs javascript
?>
</script>
</HTML>
<HTML>
<?php
// Your PHP code here that outputs text/html code
?>
<script language="JavaScript">
</script>
</HTML>
But of course, as others pointed out, browser will not see your PHP code. It will be processed by the server and browser will see only the javascript/html.
sure, you can even make php generate javascript. php file is processed to html before sending it to client, and client will see nothing except html with javascript.
You can also insert your code like this, don't give error
<HTML>
<script language="JavaScript">
<script language="php">
echo "alert('javascript alert')";
</script>
</script>
</HTML>
<HTML>
<script language="php">
echo "php code runned";
</script>
<script language="JavaScript">
</script>
</HTML>
If you want php to be executed inside javascript, then you have to use AJAX.
AJAX is a javascript code that allows you to call the server, thus executing php code and returning the result to you, at any time you wish (not only at the creation time of the page, but at the time the javascript code is called).

with jquery is even easier:

You can put PHP code in the middle of a fichero.js???
Many do not know, but not in principle. If the server to interpret a php file needs to see the php extension, note that you can not set or if the file is php html extension, therefore you're not a js file extension. What you can do is something like the php type="javaScript"> '; echo 'write ("'. $ name. '");'; echo ''; } ?> For example.

How to get value from php javascript?

I have a file php javascript
in news.js
news_id = 1;
document.write('<div id="news-id"></div>');
function output(strHtml) {
document.getElementById('news-id').innerHTML = strHtml;
}
in news.php is using
<?php
$news_id =
?>
news_id
<?php
$str = '<p>This is id: </p>'.$news_id;
?>
output(<?php echo json_encode($str); ?>);
And index.html i call
<script src="news.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="news.php" type="text/javascript"></script>
When i run index.html is error, how to get news_id from js to using in php
Well, as wrong as the original question is, there is a way to get the a JS variable into a PHP file.
In the HTML:
<script src="news.js"></script>
<script>
document.write('<scr'+'ipt type="text/javascript" src="news.php?myvar='+myvar+'" ></scr'+'ipt>');
</script>
In news.js:
var myvar = "HELLO";
In news.php:
alert("<?php echo $_GET["myvar"]?>");
Again, I highly discourage this approach... but it works.
You can't call news.php like this. It should be included in the html file like this:
include("news.php");
and you should change the extension of your html file to .php
To use PHP as javascript source <script src="news.php"
you need explicit declare content-type in .php
<?php header("Content-type: text/javascript"); //at very first line no white-space before ?>
//this is javascript content..
Important!
first, PHP execute on web server and send response to client(browser).
then javascript execute later in web browser.
To use js value inside php function you need AJAX GET/POST.

How to pass PHP session variable into Javascript/jQuery function?

I have a PHP page that loads a session variable:
$user_id = $_SESSION['USER_ID'];
Previously, I included my Javascript/jQuery within that page, and added <? echo $user_id; ?> to set the Javascript variable:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".button").click(function() {
var user_id = <? echo $user_id; ?>
var dataString = 'user_id=' + user_id;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "../add_user.php",
data: dataString,
});
return false
});
});
However, I'd like to move my Javascript to a separate page and call the script from my PHP page:
<script src="add_user.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
If I do this, I can no longer user <? echo $user_id; ?>, so what is the best way to pass my PHP variable into the Javascript/jQuery function?
You can configure your webserver to treat .js files as PHP scripts, which would let you execute your PHP code from within the .js file.
However, if that's not acceptable, you can always do something like:
<script type="text/javascript">var user_id = <?php echo json_encode($user_id) ?>;</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="add_user.js"></script>
to define the variable at your PHP script level, and then include the external .js as usual.
If $user_id is always numeric, then the json_encode() bit is overkill, but I've gotten into the habit of using that everywhere I'm generating JS code dynamically. Using json_encode guarantees you're inserting a syntactically correct JS snippet.
<script>
var user_id = <?php echo $user_id; ?>
</script>
<script src="add_user.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Now you can use user_id in your add_user.js file. Also, I would advise against using PHP short tags.
You will still be able to reference your varible in your external js file
<script type="text/javascript">
var yourvar = <? echo $user_id; ?>;
</script>
<script src="add_user.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
Just start the session on the other side. Its is also more secured, considering that JS data may be corrupted, even deliberately and may be exploited (security).
After starting the session - read the value there.
Of course, this is valid for scripts on the same vhost.

Pass PHP output to jQuery

I have got this code
/* Popup for hot news */
$(document).ready(function() {
var $dialog = $('<div></div>')
.html('text to be shown')
.dialog({
autoOpen: false,
title: 'Table'
});
This code is in my JavaScript files which are included by header.php.
How to pass PHP output to this function?
Inputing <?php echo($mydata)?> in .html('') above does not solve anything.
Any reason why this gives an error?
Thanks for helping!
First of all your code is having some problem, $ in php is a prefix of variable and $ in jQuery is a selection sign. You can view the html source(the output) on browser for debug.
I can think of three ways to do so:
(1)The way you have mentioned should work, see the code below
<?php $foo='hi'?>
<script>
alert("<?php echo $foo?>");
</script>
(2)Another way is to separate server side and client slide code clearly for better maintenance
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<?php echo"<div id='foo' style='visibility:hidden;'>HI</div>"?>
<script>
alert($('#foo').text());
</script>
(3)The last way is by passing variable from the URL http://example.com/example.php#hi
<script>
var foo= location.href.split('#')[1];
alert(foo);
</script>
Adding <?php //code?> to your JS files do nothing because JS files are not executed by Apache. You can either use Ajax to request for data once your page loads (if the data doesn't need to be there at start) or you can add those PHP code blocks to your HTML code.
Using Ajax (goes in your JS file)
$(document).ready(function(){
var u = 'data.php';
var d = {};//data
$.get(u, d, function(data){
//got by data. lets invoke some methods here
});
});
Putting it in your HTML (goes in your HTML file)
var __DATA = '<?php //output some data I prepared earlier ?>';
//I'm using __ and capitol case to denote a global variable. Just personal preference
<script src='myjsfile.js' type='text/javascript'></script>
//the variable __DATA is available to your JS file and you can use it
