RE: php varible in Javascript alert()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Your example will earn you a { missing ; before statement } error from the
JS interpreter... Though it will work if you add quotes:

<?php $phpError = "This is a test"; ?>

<script language="javascript">

var errorMsg = '<?php echo addslashes($phpError) ?>';
alert('error found: ' + errorMsg);

</script>

Also I removed the $ prefixing the JS vars... It's not necessary :)

PS Thinking on it why not just:

<script language="javascript">

alert('error found: <?php echo addslashes($phpError) ?>');

</script>

Yes, alert() as in the javascript:

<script language="javascript">

var $errorMsg = <?php echo addslashes($phpError) ?>;
alert('error found: ' + $errorMsg);

</script>
