php with javascript variable

[Anon]

Hi All,

i have this code at the moment:

var folder1="<? echo $folder[$temphfteller] ?>";

the var folderr is within the javascript tags and this works, but i want to change the $temphfteller php variable to temphfteller javascript variable which should look a bit like this:

var folder1="<? echo $folder[temphfteller] ?>";

how can i declare the javascript variable between the two stars** WITHIN php??

You can't. JS executes client side, PHP executes server side. By the time the JS is run on the client PHP has completed execution. You'd have to pass the new value back to the server with a new page request via GET or POST

Thank you very much Rod, this has helped me a lot understanding the situation.
