SCRIPT tag

[Liam Gibbs]

I'm having some trouble with my script tag. I'm trying to include a
piece of PHP text via the script tag by doing so:

<script src="http://pinata.no-ip.org/~altmarvel/Scripts.php"></script>

This produces nothing, but I don't know why. I've even gone so far as
to make it as simple as putting a simple HTML string inside
Scripts.php, which it refuses to print out. Yet, this refuses to print
anything out.

I've gotten some sample code from some 80s toy site, and the string
they use which works is:

<script src="http://www.seibertron. com/news/include_news.ph p"></script>

I have no clue what the difference between these two strings is, and
it's infuriating. Does anybody know? Is there a PHP switch or
something?

Browsers don't ordinarily know how to execute PHP. Even if they did,
you would have to *tell* them that the script is going to be PHP by
using the SCRIPT tag's TYPE attribute. If you're using a browser that
doesn't disqualify the SCRIPT tag altogether for omitting the required
TYPE attribute, it expects Javascript when no type is given
explicitly.

What site? URL?

PHP is a server-side language interpreter.
I suppose you could try giving a "type" value, something like
type="text/php".

Do you know what PHP is?

You appear not to know what PHP is.

If you enter:-

view-source:http://pinata.no-ip.org/~altmarvel/Scripts.php

- and:-

view-source:http://www.seibertron.com/news/include_news.php

- into the location/address bar of a web browser to view the material
actually being sent to the browser you will find that the first is
returning a fragment of HTML, while the second is returning valid
javascript source code.

The second works because the browser's javascript interpreter is able to
understand and execute javascript source code, while its interpretation
of an HTML fragment will be as a series of javascript syntax errors, and
it will terminate its attempt to execute the script at the first it
encounters.

What are your exacts needs ?
If you want to include text produce by another web page, then <script
src...> is one of the solutions. Please read the recent thread
"Templates/inclusion in the new age" :

If you choose to use script, then your php page should send to the browser
correct mime type and javascript code (document.write (...) )

There is no correct mime type for client-side javascript source.
Browsers appear to ignore content type headers sent in the context of
script elements.

You're unclear about the differences between server-side and
client-side scripting.

PHP is server-side only. <script> is client-side only.

_If_ your PHP code's function is to _make_ a client-side script
(sometimes called "meta-scripting"), then you might have a client-side
<script> that refers to a piece of server-side PHP. But what the
<script> element is referring to is the _output_ of the PHP script,
not its source code.

Well, there _is_ a
<script runat="server">
for ASP.

Ahhh.... I'm starting to see now. I was familiar with PHP, but not
with the SCRIPT tag. What I thought it would do is run the PHP on my
server, my server would spit the output to that page, and.... then a
whole bunch of stuff I was unclear about. I guess I have more muddling
to do now with JavaScript and so forth.

And I was unaware of the view-source thing. I'll also try that type
value.

Thanks all!
