Heya, Kumuda.

You can display a PHP variable in a textbox like this:

<textbox><?php echo $variable; ?></textbox>
 

If you absolutely need to transport the PHP variable to Javascript, simply create JavaScript code to generate the variable:

echo '
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
    var myVar = "' . $variable . '";
// ]]>
</script>';

No need to go with java script....try this

<?php
$i='value';
echo '<input type="text" value ='.$i.'>' 
?>

Hi pbmods,

I tried the code

<script language="javascript">
    / <![CDATA[
 
          var myVar = "' . $Name . '";
          alert(myVar);
 
      // ]]>
</script>
 

But this is not working, it is just displaying the '.$Name.' but the contents of variable. Please help me.

With regards

Hi.

PHP and JavaScript do not work together. PHP is executed Server-side before your JavaScript code is executed on the client's browser.
You need to use PHP to generate the JavaScript code.

Like this:

<script language="javascript">
    / <![CDATA[
 
          var myVar = "<?php echo $Name; ?>";
          alert(myVar);
 
      // ]]>
</script>

Hi all,

I have one more issue.

I want to add one option dynamically to dropdown box i.e. it will get the value from another page on clicking a link and it should add that value to existing list of dropdown box values.
I have used the following code where 'SelectSP' is the name of the dropdown box

<script language="javascript">
 
          var Name = "<?php echo $name; ?>";
          document.getElementById('SelectSP').value=Name;
 
</script>

You can use PHP to dynamically build your dropdown box.

Consider this code:

<select name="mySelect">
<?php
  for($i = 0; $i < 3; $i++) {
    echo "\n\t<option value=\"$i\">Item #$i</option>";
  }
?>
</select>
 

Which would output something like this

<select name="mySelect">
  <option value="0">Item #0</option>
  <option value="1">Item #1</option>
  <option value="2">Item #2</option>
</select>
