using php in javascript

[vijayrajesh98]

Hi All,
I have a javascript file thru which I write some text on the webpage - something using the below to display on the page.

var t = document.getElementById('foo');
var tr = t.appendChild(document.createElement('tr'));
tr.appendChild(document.createElement('td')).innerHTML = "NYY";
tr.appendChild(document.createElement('td')).innerHTML = win;
tr.appendChild(document.createElement('td')).innerHTML = loss;

how ever I would need to write the above output on a file on a txt file on the server side. The txt file will be something like on ther server and will be appended.

NYY 10 3

I am not too sure how to embed php to this so that I append these outputs from javascript to the text file though php? can I pass in each output to a php function like getjsvals(team,win,loss) and then this triggers the php function to write to the file? not too sure how to accomplish this.

I am working on a deadline, so any insights would be deeply appreciated!

In PHP on the server side (not from a webpage), you can do this if the file doesn't exist or you want to replace the contents:

$myFile = "/var/www/html/somewhere/somefile.dat";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($fh, $variable);
fclose($fh);

and if the file exists and you want to append to it, you could then:

$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($fh, $string1);
fwrite($fh, $string2);

You would first test to see if the file exists, then branch to the code part you need.....

Reading it back usefully is not quite as simple.

thank you very much for this ... how ever how do I embed the php code with javascript. in fact

$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($fh, $string1);
fwrite($fh, $string2);

the string1 and string2 are the win and loss I have here below that comes from javascript = > display the win/loss on the webpage and also write it to the file

tr.appendChild(document.createElement('td')).innerHTML = win;
tr.appendChild(document.createElement('td')).innerHTML = loss;
