passing PHP variables to JS

[Anon]

hello

is there a way to pass a variable from PHP to JavaScript?

problem is:

i'm reading out content from the database, somewhere the language is defined, if a user edits his records, he should be able to change the language, but I want that the default language (i.e. the one that is set in the database) is selected in a drop-down menu.. is there a possibility?

Emanuel,

Try this:

<select>

<option <? if ($row["language"] == "english") { print "selected"; } ?>English

<option <? if ($row["language"] == "german") { print "selected"; } ?>German

</select>

This can be bit long winded if you have lots of languages, but if the list is database generated it would be better.

Hope this helps
