document.open();
document.write("<?include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/begin.php');?>");
document.close();

Nothing shows up. Why? And what should I do to fix this?

    include returns either true or false.
    you prob want something like

    $data = file($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/begin.php');

foreach($data as $line) {
  echo "document.write('" . addslashes(trim($line)) . "');\n";
}

      Error on page and nothing happens at all.

      <script language="JavaScript">
<!-- hide from old browsers
function WritePage()
{
<?
document.open();
$data = file($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/begin.php');
foreach($data as $line)
{
  echo "document.write('" . addslashes(trim($line)) . "');\n";
}
document.close();
?>
}
//-->
</script>

        Same with this:

        <script language="JavaScript">
<!-- hide from old browsers

function WritePage()
{
document.open();
<?$data = file($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/begin.php');
foreach($data as $line)
{
  echo "document.write('" . addslashes(trim($line)) . "');\n";
}
?>
document.close();
}

//-->
</script>
          <?php

$data = file('http://yoursite.com/begin.php');

echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">\n";
foreach($data as $line) {
  echo "document.write('" . addslashes(trim($line)) . "');\n";
}
echo "</script>";

?>

          use your full domain sothe php page is parsed.. then this should work.

            The php code inside the javascript tags causes nothing in the script to work at all.

            <? $start="<script type='text/javascript'>\n"; $end="</script>"; ?>
<script language="JavaScript">
function WritePage()
{
alert("in"); //never gets here
document.open();
<?php //without removing these.
$data = file('http://foryouandi.com/begin.php');
echo $start;
foreach($data as $line)
{
  echo "document.write('" . addslashes(trim($line)) . "');\n";
}
echo $end;
?> 
//document.write("Hi");
document.close();
}
</script>

            Is what I am trying to do impossible? Because php is server side and javascript is client.

              http://www.neoprogrammers.com/code/4u.php - view that and view source

              source code is

              <?php

$data = file('http://foryouandi.com/begin.php');

echo '<script type="text/javascript">';

foreach($data as $line) {
  echo "document.write('" . addslashes(trim($line)) . "');\n";
}

echo '</script>';

?>

                You have been extremely helpful. I'm not so sure we are on the same page. I need to call this script whenever the user clicks a link on the page:
                <A href="javascript:WritePage()">1-5</A>
                But that does not work and I think I'll give up on php code inside javascript.

                I made new code without direct javascript but I don't know how to call it from a link:

                <?
function WritePage()
{
$data = file('http://foryouandi.com/begin.php');
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";
echo "document.open();";
foreach($data as $line)
{
echo "document.write('" . addslashes(trim($line)) . "');\n";
}
echo "document.close();";
echo '</script>';
}
?>

//Try to call:
<A href="php:WritePage()">1-5</A> //no
<A href="WritePage()">1-5</A> //no

                  I do believe that is impossible. PHP is evaluated on the server before the HTML hits the browser. Javascript executes in the browser, usually as or after the page has loaded.

                    Thanks, but that looks like a M$ implementation to me; I'll pass.

                      its cross browser compatible and works in all os's. see maps.google.com for examples of it.

                        Thanks, I know how to make frames. But I don't see them on many pages and I am wondering why? For example, the sidebars on many pages don't use frames and I think they should...I'm confused.
