variables

[scuba]

Hi,

I want to save the result of a javascript file as a variable like :

$today = <script language='javascript' src='datetime.js'></script>;

but I get a parse error here. I checked and the output of the file is correct. But how can I save it as $tody so that I can put it into my database?

$today = "<script language='javascript' src='datetime.js'></script>";

that doesn't work. It takes :

<script language='javascript' src='datetime.js'>

as a literal and makes that the value.

You might try an fopen() call that grabs an HTML file with the javascript you want to run in it. Make sure you preface the location with http:// so it knows to open an external connection to the file.
