php in ".js"

[qqq]

I don't write english very well but please help me.

I have a file "a.js"
in "a.js" I have:
var v1= 1212;
1212 is something like $varfromphp from php which change daily

$varfromphp ="select field from table where date='today' ";

I can't introduce $varfromphp in file "a.js"
Where is the problem ?

I have apache + php + mysql.

Thank you in advance.

you have to tell apache to send .js files through php.

i haven't tried this, but you might want to check an area in apache that looks like this:

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3 .phtml
    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>

just add the .js extension there.

name your js file as php, i.e .php instead of .js

and use

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="myjsfile.php"></script>
