OK i hae pulled my results from a database but now i want to write them out in a specific format BUT i don't want them to display in the browser.

I'm trying create some javascript arrays from the results but cannot remember how to write to the page but not the screen

heeelp please

thanks

you still just print it out, you just put it between <SCRIPT></SCRIPT> tags. If you want you can also enclose it in  tags so that older browsers won't choke on the javascript.

Thanks Craig,

I'd already thought of that but the problem is that the javascript is in a seprate file (due to the size of it) and is referenced by

So this prevents me from putting <script> tags around the code.

Anyone got any other ideas?

cheers

Craig no luck with that one

The major problem is that the file that calls the javascript file (created by php ) is itself a .js file therefor it uses

And the only way of creating the array in my php file was to put <script> tags around the output to prevent it from being displayed to the screen.

I have successfully created the javascript array via the php file but how on earth do i get it to write without putting the <script> tags around the output?

As you'd expected the caling page complains of an error due to the instance of
<script language="javascript"> at the top of the php file.

any help would be greatfully received

thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can still follow Craig H's suggestion. Pull out whatever bit that is in the xxx.js file that you want generated, and place it between <script> tags in your page, immediately before your <script src="xxx.js"><script> tag.
