Not so messy javascript

[hosdank]

I have a table which contains quite a bit of PHP code(Don't worry, this question IS related to JavaScript). When the user clicks a button I need the PHP code to change. I know I can use getElementById('shade').innerHTML='(PHP CODE INSERTED HERE)' to change it, but the thing is it would be a pain to keep all my PHP code on one line due to it being all wrapped inside a JavaScript command. I'd like to be able to format it with new lines and every thing. Any ideas? Sorry if that wasn't explained well. Thanks

You can actually use file_get_contents in js with a little bit of PHP, search it:
http://www.google.com/search?q=file_...ient=firefox-a
With that you can use: getElementById(...).innderHTML=file....

Any idea why this won't work? It just dosn't do anything

<script language='javascript'>
function file_get_contents( url )
{
    // http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net
    // +   original by: Legaev Andrey
    // %        note 1: This function uses XmlHttpRequest and cannot retrieve resource from different domain.
    // *     example 1: file_get_contents('http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/pj_test_supportfile_1.htm');
    // *     returns 1: '123'
 
    var req = null;
    try { req = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) {
        try { req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) {
            try { req = new XMLHttpRequest(); } catch(e) {}
        }
    }
    if (req == null) throw new Error('XMLHttpRequest not supported');
 
    req.open("GET", url, false);
    req.send(null);
 
    return req.responseText;
}

	var filecontents;
	filecontents=file_get_contents('http://localhost/spacetrade/HTML & Code/blah.php');
	document.write(filecontents);
</script>

I don't know, but the error says its a security issue, please try one of the other codes on Google I linked you to.
I've also found this one that looks quite promising:
