UBB.Developers Forums Community Development Programming PHP and Server-side Scripting Javascript understanding php variables?

Is there a way to get javascript to understand php variables. More specifically the UBBT variables.

Is it as simple as including the ubbt.inc.php file in the script?

Could you explain specifically what you want to do? I.e., what problem are you trying to solve?

If you take a look at my site. (See sig)

I have a dhtml menu written in Javascript.

I am trying to move the navigation menu from the top of the forums to the dhtml menu. However when I attempt to use any variables from the UBBT the Javascript does not understand them.

So I was wondering if including a UBBT file will be able to pass the variables to the Javascript. Or am I going down the wrong path........

I looked at your site, but am not sure what menu you're referring to.

PHP runs server-side, and Javascript runs client-side.

All I can think of is to modify the PHP script to output the Javascript, with the desired values included in the Javascript.

Ok, my browser filter was blocking that menu. I can see it now.

This may take some time, but I'll see if I can spot the problem, unless someone else responds first.

No way you will get that to work, sorry.

The javascript file you are using is not parsed by php, so no, it wont work.
You are refering to an external javascript file for the menu: [:"blue"] ../mmenu.js [/]
It wont work.

Maybe you could try embedding directly the javascript into your php page itself, but that is not a good thing... The way you have it now saves users from downloading the menu every single time they visit a page with the menu. If you include the script inside the php (where that specific thing would work) then download time will double, as they will need to download the javascript code along with the generated page every single time.

Ok.

Thank You. I'll have to find another way......

I'll probably hard code the array's. One for registered users and one for unregistered and just "remember" where the admin pages are.
