I call the functions on other places too, but it doesn't work there neither :
PLEASE HELP ME

re: can't call JavaScript function from php

Please post your code inside [code] tags! It's impossible to read it without them.

What have you changed since the code worked?
Are you getting any PHP or JavaScript errors?
What is your code supposed to be doing? How is it not working?

re: can't call JavaScript function from php

i'm not sure but i think it won't work
shouldnt that be urlencode() as it is part of a url?

re: can't call JavaScript function from php

here is the code in code tags
[PHP]$poraka="Dali sakas";
foreach($rezBilet as $rezB)
{
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td align="center"><a href="?modifyRezBilet='.
htmlentities($rezB['TURIST_ID'])." ".htmlentities($rezB['B_ID']).'" /><img src="../images/edit.png" width="24" height="24" border="0" /></a></td>';
echo '<td align="center"><a href="?deleteRezBilet='.
htmlentities($rezB['TURIST_ID'])." ".htmlentities($rezB['B_ID']).'" /><img src="../images/delete2.png" width="24" height="24" border="0" /></a></td>';
echo '<td>'.$rezB['TURIST_ID'].'<a href="?showTur='.
htmlentities($rezB['TURIST_ID']).'" onclick="showListTurist();return false;" /><img align="right" src="../images/details.png" width="14" height="14" border="0" /></a></td>';
echo '<td>'.$rezB['B_ID'].'<a href="?showBil='.
htmlentities($rezB['B_ID']).'" onclick="showListBilet(); return false;" /><img align="right" src="../images/details.png" width="14" height="14" border="0" /></a></td>';
echo '<td>'.$rezB['REZ_DATA'].'</td>';
echo '<td>'.$rezB['KOLICINA'].'</td>';
echo '</tr>';
}
echo <<<END
<tr><form method="post" action="$posRezBilet1"><td align="center">
<a href="?newRezBilet2=vnesi" /><img src="../images/user1_add.png" width="36" height="36" border="0" /></a></td><td colspan="1" align="center">
<input type="submit" value="Äîäàäè íîâà ðåçåðâàöè¼à" name="newRezBilet" class="button">
</td>

<td colspan="2"><div align="center">
<input type="submit" value="< Ïðåòõîäíè $step" name="previousRezBilet" class="button">
<input type="submit" value="Ñëåäíè $step >" name="nextRezBilet" class="button">
</div>
</td>
<td>
<select name="cekor" style="background:#F1D798" onchange="MM_jumpMenu('parent',this,0)">
<option value="" style="background:#F1D798">ïðèêàæè</option>
<option value="?cekor=5" style="background:#F1D798">5</option>
<option value="?cekor=10" style="background:#F1D798">10</option>

<option value="?cekor=30" style="background:#F1D798">30</option>
</select>
</td>
<td align="center">$currPage/$maxPage Ñòðàíà</td>
</tr>
</form>
</table></center>
END;
}
} [/PHP]

this is only the part where I call the functions, and here are the JavaScript functions

The code prints the values stored the array $rezBilet in a table and I want when you press on the picture 'details' to open new window. That's why I call the JavaScript function. But I also want to send the variable $rezB['TURIST_ID'] to the new window that opens, so thats why I use href=?showTur..., and then in the JavaScript function I put it in session.
I don't get any kind of errors, it does nothing, and the biggest problem is, that I that I haven't changed much. I only added some things but on the other part of the script that has not much connection whit this (I think). It just stop working.
Just adds the value from $rezB['TURIST_ID'] to showTur, but it doesn't call the JavaScript functions.
Sorry that I didn't write correctly the previous post, but I'm new at this.

re: can't call JavaScript function from php

you should use [ php] [ /php] tags for your code

what do you mean do not call javascript? php cant call javascript anyway...

re: can't call JavaScript function from php

Heya, evicailieva. Welcome to TSDN!

You're having trouble because (as JX2 mentioned) PHP can't call a JavaScript function.

PHP is server-side, whereas JavaScript is client-side. Since the code is running on separate machines, there's no way for them to directly communicate.

Now, you can have the PHP output JavaScript that you'd like the browser to run while it's loading the page, and you can use AJAX to send a new HTTP request to the server to run additional scripts after the main page has loaded, but those are your best options.

re: can't call JavaScript function from php

I mean it does not execute the code in the function showListTurist(), it doesn't open new window.

re: can't call JavaScript function from php

Heya, Evicailieva.

You mean that when you click on the links in the table cells, it's not opening the new window, correct?

Are you getting an error, or is it just not doing anything?

re: can't call JavaScript function from php

Yes that's exactly what I mean. It does not show errors. It does nothing. I really don't know what's wrong! I also have this code

[PHP]echo <<<END
<tr>
<td colspan=3 align="right">
Òóðèñò:
<input type="text" name="turistid" size="34" value="òóðèñò">
<input type="button" value="èçëèñòà¼" onClick="showListTurInsert()" class="button">
</td>
</tr>
END;[/PHP]

and also dosen't open new window. It also does nothing.

re: can't call JavaScript function from php

There is one more thing I think may be causing a problem.

You call a JavaScript function through the onclick event in a <a> tag, but it the same tag you set the href parameter, trying to pass the url in the href parameter to the window, opened by you JavaScript function.
This will not work. What actually happens is, when your user clicks the <a> link, the JavaScript function is executed, and then the client is redirected to the URL in the href parameter

For example:
This will put up an alert box and then it will redirect you to '?var=val'.

You would need to do something like this:
Which will open up another window showing the page 'mypage.php?var=val'.

re: can't call JavaScript function from php

Thank you very much. That works.
