passing get parameters inside javascript functions

amrigo

I have a javascript function to build a table of links, and i need to pass a get variable, ( links[1] = '../link/to.php?client=<?htmlentities($_SESSION[client])?>' ) so i am writing the get string inside the javascript function saved like menu.js :

function menu() {
var bar = new Array(2)
var links = new Array(2)
var i;
var max = 3;
barra[0] = 'Select Date'
barra[1] = 'Admin Acidents'
links[0] = '../link/to.php'
links[1] = '../link/to.php?client=<?htmlentities($_SESSION[client])?>'

for(i=0;i<max;i++) {
document.write("<table>");
document.write("<tr>");
if((i % 2) == 0) {
document.write("<td bgcolor='#EEEEEE'>");
}
else {
document.write("<td bgcolor='#E7E7E7'>");
}
if(links=="")
document.write(barra)
else {
if( (i % 2) == 0 ) {
document.write("<a href="+links+" target='main'>"+barra+"</a>");
}
else {
document.write("<a href="+links+" target='main'>"+barra+"</a>");
}
}
document.write("</td>");
document.write("</tr>");
document.write("</table>");
}
}
menu ()

and i just call this function when needed :

<script language="JavaScript" src="../menu.js"></script>

using from a normal html link it works and pass the right variable
but using from the javascript function above it not pass a get variable and return a link like this:

http://website/link/to.php?client=<?htmlentities($_SESSION[client])?

anybody knows a solution ?

Thank´s in advance

The single quotes don't parse variables. Change it to double quotes:

links[1] = "../link/to.php?client=<?php htmlentities($_SESSION['client']) ?>"

i try this way but the php still is being printed literally and not interpreted like a variable

I think you're wanting
<?php echo urlencode($_SESSION['client'])?>

As for not having it interpreted; if the file extension is .js, then how is the web server supposed to know it contains PHP code? Add .js to the list of file extensions that the web server uses to decide what to run PHP on (see the installation instructions for your web server if you don't already know how to do this). If you can't do that for some reason, rename the file with a .php extension.

yes i am using a .js file do i have to alter the webserver to recognize js files to interpret php? wich file? php.ini? httpd.conf?

Thank´s in advance!!
