Hello Jim, Strange enough :-). Your are trying to include a JavaScript file into a Php script. You have two routines to accomplish: 1. Either rewrite your GetText function in PHP instead of JavaScript. By the way, I would suggest you to rename the function since there is an extension called GetText and a function called the same. It is needed for the i18n and l10n purposes. 2. Replace your include with the following: <script type="text/javascript" src="../php/inc/js/getText.js"></script> And call the function in JavaScript. Hope this helps! -- With best regards from Ukraine, Andre Skype: Francophile My blog: http://oire.org/menelion (mostly in Russian) Twitter: http://twitter.com/m_elensule Facebook: http://facebook.com/menelion ------------ Original message ------------ From: Jim Giner <jim.giner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date created: , 12:07:44 AM Subject: newbie - function is undefined I have this code in my php script. A simple page to test out a function that I learned from a book I bought. <?php $root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; include($root.'/../php/inc/js/getText.js'); ?> </head> The include gets a function I wrote called getText and I have dumped the source code of my webpage after I get the error and i see that the include did in fact work. There is a function with that name. Here is the header <script type="text/javascript"> function getText(e) { . . .} </script> </head> In the body of my html doc built by this script I have the following lines: echo 'para contains: '; echo getText("p1"); **** echo '<br><br>'; echo 'heaading contains: '.getText("h2"); ?> </body> I get this output on the line containing the **** para contains: Fatal error: Call to undefined function getText() in /home/albany/public_html/players_dir/test_gettext.php on line 23 As you can see my output starts out as I expect but then I get the undefined function message.
