[RESOLVED] Passing a variable from PHP to Javascript

M__Abdel-Ghani

I don't know what is the problem with this code?

<?
$name="Mohamed";
echo $name;
?>
<script language="Javascript1.2">
var na=<? echo $name; ?> ;
alert("Welcome  "+na);
</script>

Why there is no messagebox running here?
Is there any possible way to pass a variable value from PHP to Javascript

thanks

Yes you need quotes:

<?php
  $name = "Mohamed";
  echo $name;
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
  <!--
    var na = "<?php echo $name; ?>";
    window.alert("Welcome  " + na);
  //-->
</script>

Cheers,
