PHP Variables to Javascript?

[NSH]

Hello everyone,

I have tried to search the boards as well as the net, but I can't seem to find help on my particular issue.

Basically what I am trying to do is use variables from php in a javascript confirmation script.

This is for when a user clicks 'delete' a confirmation box appears and by clicking yes sends the data from the variables to a query string in another page.

I have the confirmation working without a problem, however when attempting to include the variables it sends the actual text of the variable, rather than the value itself.
It evidentally isn't seeing the values.

I have placed it everywhere I can think of within and out of the php statement.
I can't seem to get it right. Not even sure if you can pass php/mysql data to JS.

The Java script code I am using is the following:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--
function confirm()
{
var where_to= confirm("Do you really want to delete this entry?");
if (where_to== true)
{
window.location="edit.php?requestid=$requestid&servreq=$servreq";
}
else
{

}
}
//-->

</SCRIPT>

And my link is:
<a href= "#" onClick="confirm()">go</a>

I have tried placing the script within the PHP AFTER it pulls the data from the DB and it still won't work.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

wow you are a newb heres whats wrong:

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--
function confirm()
{
var where_to= confirm("Do you really want to delete this entry?");
if (where_to== true)
{
window.location="edit.php?requestid=<? echo"$requestid";?>&servreq=<? echo"$servreq";?>";
}
else
{

}
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

hmmm, gave me a 'stack overflow' error at the line with the variables.

I will play with the code as I smack myself for missing an obvious answer

thanks for the help!

Duey is right BUT there can be a space problem between the echo and double quotes...

Try this :

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> 
<!-- 
function confirm() 
{ 
var where_to= confirm("Do you really want to delete this entry?"); 
if (where_to== true) 
{ 
window.location="edit.php?requestid=<?= $requestid ?>&servreq=<?= $servreq ?>"; 
} 
else 
{ 

} 
} 
//--> 
</SCRIPT>

Or try this if fails 🙂

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript"> 
<!-- 
function confirm() 
{ 
var where_to= confirm("Do you really want to delete this entry?"); 
if (where_to== true) 
{ 
window.location="edit.php?requestid=<?= "12" ?>&servreq=<?= "12" ?>"; 
} 
else 
{ 

} 
} 
//--> 
</SCRIPT>

ig it craps with above code you have a problem (which you obviously allready have but you know.... hehe)

neither of those didn't work as well as many varitions to it.
I appreciate the help though.

I simply can't figure it out... may have to use just a seperate small browser popup window with a link or button......

thanks for trying

just to make sure I am not dumb.. this should go before the <? ?> in the page..correct?

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--
function confirm()
{
var where_to= confirm("Do you really want to delete this entry?");
if (where_to== true)
{
window.location="edit.php?requestid=<?php echo $requestid ?>&servreq=<? echo $servreq;?>";
}
else
{

}
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

That actually worked, finally.
However since it is not in the php while statement it only affects the last row that is pulled instead of all associated.
I now how to figure out a way to duplicate

window.location="edit.php?requestid=<?php echo $requestid ?>&servreq=<? echo $servreq;?>";

i can't get it to work in the while statement

I simply used this in the php code for anyone who is as brainless as me.

thanks for your help guys.
you got me pointed in the right direction

[Duey]

let me guess you are running apache's mod_php instead oof the real php

[Bunkermaster]

good luck

"mod_php4"
It's on my hosting site, and yep it's mod_php
I wasn't aware of a different way to get Apache and PHP working together.

When I get my linux box back up, I guess i shall explore new ways to install it.
thanks for the help duey
