PHP to JavaScript Variables

**tech_support** · 09-27-2006, 08:18 AM

Hi,

I was wondering if you can transfer the PHP variable to JavaScript?

Like:

PHP Code:


<?php



$name = $_GET['name'];



?>

then get the $name variable into JavaScript like...

Code:

var name = (name here)

Thanks,

Peter

Sure.

PHP Code:


var name = <?php echo $_GET['name']; ?>

Oh. Thanks!

Never thought it would be THAT simple.

Yep.
You can do anything like that... you're just echoing into the html source, and since js is part of the html source, that's all there is to it.

djr33 missed out the quotes enclosing the variable, however.

Yep. This is the php forum, not the JS forum

Silly me. Heh.

Or in the PHP file:

$name = $GET['name'];

echo "<script language=\"JavaScript\" type=\"JavaScript/text\">
var name = '$name'; </script>";

and in your HTML,

<html>
<title> Test </title>
<body>
<script language="javascript">
document.write(top.name);
</script>
</body>
</html>

echo "<script language=\"JavaScript\" type=\"JavaScript/text\">
var name = '$name'; </script>";

language is deprecated, and the commonly-implemented Javascript MIME type is text/javascript, not JavaScript/text.

document.write(top.name);

There is no guarantee that window.top === window.
