javascript php quotes

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/public_html/config.php on line X

the line number doesnt do anything because i didnt post all of my config.

and <?php was for the other part of the code in config.php

You can't assign the result of a non-parsed block to a variable like that. Use a function as I demonstrated.

heres my edited version:

PHP Code:

---

        $message {
?> <script type="text/javascript"> 
    function openAlert() { 
      Dialog.alert(
        "<?php echo "$showDate$system_message[message]"; ?>",
        { 'windowParameters' : { 'className' : "alphacube" } }
      );
    }
  </script>
<?php }

---

Now i have this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/public_html/header.inc.php on line X

Note: I edited a different file

(sigh)

Can't, can not, may not.
