[RESOLVED] Java Function Name

jkarr

Hello,

Does anyone know a way I can make a Java function whose name is actually a php variable?

Thanks,

Java or JavaScript?

I guess Javascript, here is my function:

<script type="text/javascript">
     function transdetail(){
      var generator=window.open('','name','height=400,width=500');
      generator.document.write('<html><head><title>Transaction <? echo $transactionid; ?></title>');
      generator.document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.datamt.org/masterfiles/sinorca-screen.css" media="screen" title="Sinorca (screen)" />');
      generator.document.write('<link rel="stylesheet alternative" type="text/css" href="http://www.datamt.org/masterfiles/sinorca-screen-alt.css" media="screen" title="Sinorca (alternative)" />');
      generator.document.write('<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.datamt.org/masterfiles/sinorca-print.css" media="print" />');
      generator.document.write('<style type="text/css">');
      generator.document.write('body{');
      generator.document.write('background: rgb(100,135,220);}');
      generator.document.write('</style>');
      generator.document.write('</head><body>');
      generator.document.write('<div id=popup><center><table border=1>');
      generator.document.write('<th colspan=2 class="subheader">Transaction Details for Transaction Number <? echo $transactionid; ?></th>');
      generator.document.write('<tr><td><strong>Type</strong></td><td><? echo $type; ?></td></tr>');
      generator.document.write('<tr><td><strong>Account Number</strong></td><td><? echo $acct; ?></td></tr>');
      generator.document.write('<? if($check == ""){} else{ ?>');
      generator.document.write('<tr><td><strong>Check Number</strong></td><td><? echo $check; ?></td></tr>');
      generator.document.write('<? } ?>');
      generator.document.write('</table></center></div>');
      generator.document.write('</body></html>');
      generator.document.close();
     }
    </script>

In my testing this works fine. I need a variable to be the name because this function needs to be used for each result from a query. For example, the user clicks a list to view all transactions, then clicks a link (the function above) to get the details of that transaction.

This would be included in a while loop off my mysql query.

Something like:
psuedo code:

<?
// Inside Query While Loop
$id = $row['TransactionID'];
$transdetail = "TransactionDetail" . $id . "()";
...
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
function <? echo $transdetail; ?>{
//function details from above
</script>
...
Click this link to view the details for the transaction
<? 
//loop returns and gets next transaction from database
?>

Thanks,

I think I found a solution.

Thanks everybody. I don't know javascript very well, and I got to thinking about php where you make a function and include the variables such as function(var1, var2).

Turns out it's the same concept with javascript.

Thanks,

yeah, function in PHP and Javascript work the same way, so do classes for the most part.

I recommend you save yourself alot of trouble and rework your javascript and php to rather then repeat the same function with different names, either
A: set arguments in 1 function to substitute the same functionality as you have now for different functions that do the same thing
or B: create a class and simply create new objects rather then entire funcitons.
Classes are a little difficult when your starting out in js or php, but in this case i suggest you research then and find out if its a more practical solution to your problem?

Thanks. I ended up creating a function which a variable is passed to.
