Help.. (Javascript and PHP)

Predicate

	
if($row["title"] != ""){

?>

<script type='text/javascript'>
function titlebar(val)
{
	var msg  = "<?php $row[title]; ?>";
	var speed = 500;
	var pos = val;

var msg1  = msg;
var msg2  = msg;

if(pos == 0){
	masg = msg1;
	pos = 1;
}
else if(pos == 1){
	masg = msg2;
	pos = 0;
}

document.title = masg;
timer = window.setTimeout("titlebar("+pos+")",speed);
}

titlebar(0);
</script>";

Now here's my problem. This javascript should change the title for the user who uses it.

BUT it wont work, it just changes the title to the url.. . And i cant find anything wrong with it.

Please help
Great rewards Predicate.

You cannot use variables across PHP scripts like that. They all have to be a part of the same one. The only exceptions are superglobals, I believe.

Anywho, I think this might solve your problem:

if($row["title"] != ""){

echo "
<script type=\'text/javascript\'>
function titlebar(val)
{
    var msg  = \"$row[\"title\"]; ?>\";"; ?>
    var speed = 500;
    var pos = val;

var msg1  = msg;
var msg2  = msg;

if(pos == 0){
    masg = msg1;
    pos = 1;
}
else if(pos == 1){
    masg = msg2;
    pos = 0;
}

document.title = masg;
timer = window.setTimeout("titlebar("+pos+")",speed);
}

titlebar(0);
</script>";

Note in your original code, this:

<?php $row[title]; ?>

does nothing. Perhaps you wanted to [man]echo[/man] the contents of that variable instead? Also note that string indexes must be surrounded with quotes (just like any other string in PHP).
