php variables within javascript

[liamallan]

hey, is it possible to use php variables in javascript? i been trying to create an admin notes section on my users profiles that only admin can see, and to make notes on each user.

it works great, but i am unable to parse a php variable within the javascript, here is the code im using:

// notes
if (allow_access(3)) {
        $res = sql_query("SELECT * FROM `".tb()."accounts` where id={$owner['id']}");
        $output = '';
        while ($row = sql_fetch_array($res)) {
        
            $f = 1;
            $output = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="js/jeditable.js"></script>
            <script>
            $(document).ready(function() {
     
     $(\'.edit_area\').editable("index.php?p=u/'.$row['username'].'/savenote", { 
         type      : \'textarea\',
         cancel    : \'Cancel\',
         submit    : \'OK\',
       
     });
 });
 </script>
            
<div class="edit_area" id="div_2">'.$row['notes'].'</div>';
        }
        ass(array('title'=>t('User Notes'), 'content' => $output));
        } 

what it does, it displays plain text on the users profile, displaying notes on the user, and onclick of the plain text, it turns into a textarea with the notes pre-loaded, and once finished making notes, click submit and the form is submitted to another function for processing, but as u can see, i need to use a variable within the url to send for processing.

can anyone advise?

thanx

are you receiving an error, or just missing output? are you sure you're getting a result from your query?

(also, I'm almost afraid to ask, but what does your ass() function do? )

[liamallan]

lol the ass() function displays 'blocks' on users profile like so...


as u can see, i get a wrong path error once i press submit

[traq]

"echo '$ownername' " is not in the code you posted above. are you sure this is where the error is coming from? it doesn't even really look like a php error. it might be a user-defined error message that your javascript is returning.

[liamallan]

yea, it is different, just one of the many methods i have tried for the variable to echo a result. and u are correct, it is a user defined error message that tells me that the path to the function is incorrect, the path should display as u/Shifty/savenote, Shifty being my username. im also 110% sure thats where the problem lies

1) please post the php code you are currently using.
2) please post the html/javascript markup it generates.
