[Resolved] Can I pass a string from PHP to Java?

[skeetley]

Hi,
I can't seem to find this on the net or in a search of this forum.

I am learning php and writing some good stuff. I have found some java scripts i want to use. I know very little php and less about java. How can I make a string in php and pass it to the java script? Is it even possibe?

In essence I want to do something like this:

<?php
string=12;
?>
<script>
do something using string
</script>

Since PHP is processed server-side, and JavaScript is processed client-side, you can do this, but only from PHP to JS, not the onther way around...

<?
$value = "4";
?>
<script language='JavaScript'>
var value = <? echo $value; ?>;
</script>

when the script is processed, it will simply spit out:

<script language='JavaScript'>
var value = 4;
</script>
