Scrolling Text... possible in PHP?

Anon

Hello,

I need to figure a way to scroll text on a web page (ala Javascript), that is streamed in from queries made to a MySQL database.

The query part I can do fine, but I cannot seem to find a way to scroll text actively on a web page like javascript can. Is this even a possibility?

Javascript cannot get text from a flat file or database, so I am trying to utilize PHP to completely get away from Javascript.

Thanx in advance,
-Dominic

Feed the results of your query into your javascript string. Or use CSS.

Okay, once again, PHP is server-side. You can send data to the browser (HTML, Javascript, CSS, XML, etc) but the PHP is not interpreted client side. What you could do is (as C Bullock suggests) use PHP to extract the variables and place those variables into a Javascript or CSS scroller.

OK, I can understand that. (and that was my mistake on the client side stuff <forgive please> it was early and I've been going crazy with this project.)

But, how do I get my php variable into javascript land? I assume it is simple, and I will search on my own, but if it is a quick answer it is appreciated.

Just print it.

PHP prints the entire page, including the javascript, so get the data from the database, and make PHP print the javascript so taht the data from the database ends uop in the javascript.
