PHP script in a javascript

[cpd259]

I have a HTML document where there is a mixture of both PHP and javascript. I am only familiar with all of these. The javascript is being used only when the onsubmit is set in the <form> part of the HTML. It is being used as follows: <form onSubmit="ProcessForm" (plus other parameters in this area) </form>. Above this area is the <SCRIPT language="javascript"> some function definitions and then </SCRIPT> . There are a couple of function calls to include the ProcessForm(f) function. Will the processor allow the following inside of the ProcessForm(f) function?

include_once($_SERVER[ 'APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH'] . "File3.php"; within this javascript? Or will it ignore it as it is PHP code and not java?

The function code looks similar to this:

<SCRIPT language="javascript">
function ProcessForm(f) {

   f.printer.value = getPrinter();
  include_once($_SERVER['APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH'] . "File3.php";

}

</SCRIPT>

Is the above code legal? Will it process correctly?

Thanks in advance for your help.....

Php runs on the server, long before any (client side) javascript. So in short, no, your code will not work.

Could he jump in and out of php?

<SCRIPT language="javascript">
function ProcessForm(f) {

f.printer.value = getPrinter();
<?php include_once($_SERVER['APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH'] . "File3.php"); ?>

}

Thanks all. I will then try using the ISSET condition up front in the php file before the javascript gets executed. 🙂 🙂

...you can also use window.open() javasrcipt function instead of include() php function 😉
