PHP inside Javascript

[akiplik]

currenly I am trying to make a dynamic tree menu, using javascript
php and mysql.

But I have a problem in accessing php variables inside javascript code.

e.g. (this code is OK but ?)

<script type="text/javascript">
<?=$menu_name?>.addItem('anything');


var <?=$menu_adi?> = null;
<?=$menu_adi?> = new MTMenu();
<?=$menu_adi?>.addItem("aaaa", "bbbb.html");
<?=$menu_name?>.makeLastSubmenu(<?=$menu_adi?>);
</script>

But I want to use a PHP variable for the string inside addItem function.

e.g. addItem(<?=$rrrrrr?>)

can it be done?

Thanx for all answers.

well from my knowledge with Javascript. Not much, im pretty sure that you cant intergrate php into it. My main reason for this is because, PHP is server side which you should be aware of now and Javascript is client side.. Now although html can be intergrated with PHP and other server side languages.. I wouldnt think Javascript would support it...

The only way id think it would be possible to find out is have a php var defined eg

$name = "planetsim";

then in javascript

<script language="javascript">
document.write("name")
</script>

dont copy the whole of my javascript like i said im not that good.. But my reasoning on why it may not work... are valid

You can integrate php into js, but you must remember php only executes once, at the time that the page is loaded. Whereas js is active throughout the whole time that you are on the page.
I have done the opposite (integrated js into php) many more times because of this reason. And it is for the above reason that it is not generally recommended, but 'special stuff' sometimes gets us there.

For your syntax addItem(<?=$rrrrrr?> )
Try addItem(=<?echo"$rrrrr";?>)

Keep in mind that $rrrrrr will alway be the same value as it was when you loaded the page.

good luck,
