help using javascript in php

[goterps]

Hi, I'm very very new to php... I'm trying to use javascript inside a php page but can't seem to make it work.
This is my simple code, the web page I get is blank.
What am I doing wrong? thanks in advance

<?php
echo "hello";
echo "<script type="text/javascript">";
echo "</script>";
?>

You either need to escape the quotes within your strings, or use different types of quotes:

// this...
echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">";
// ...or this...
echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
// ...or this...
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>";
