pass var from php to javascript.

Hi..

I have a dynamic listboxes. When user choose block in first listbox it will display level for respective block in second listbox.
Now i want to pass var ($gender) so now it will display level based on gender.

How to pass a variable from php to javascript?

Thanks.

I don't know if 'passing' would be the best word, you'd just be print()'ing your php variables into javascript like this:

<script language="javascript">

var someVar = <?php echo $phpvar ?>;
document.write(someVar);
</script>

the php runs on the server-side and prints that javascript to the browser. So you can't directly pass them but you can get values in there.

You need quotes or the javascript will think it is a variable name unless the value is numeric 🙂 Try this:

<script language="javascript">

var someVar = "<?php echo $phpvar ?>";
document.write(someVar);
</script>
