Outputting PHP...quick quest

[alphacooler]

How do I correctly print php code in javascript? I.E.

document.getElementById('photosDiv').innerHTML = '<img src="

http://www.domain.com/images/<?php

echo $row['path'];?>">';

does not work. I can output html just fine, but as soon as I try to output PHP code on a page my javascript stops working. I also tried escaping the ";" with "\" and that didn't do it.

Thanks so very much.

You can't output PHP in JavaScript. PHP is a [!]server-side[/!] lannguage, which means it runs oon the server, before the browser even gets a sniff at the page.

JavaScript is (few caveats aside) a [!]client-side[/!] language, which means that all server-side parsing will already have been done at the point the code is delivered to the page.

Ask in the PHP forum if you need more help with your PHP syntax.

Hope this helps,

I think we are talking about different things. I am using .innerHTML to insert HTML (and hopefully some PHP) into a PHP page. The PHP won't be executed until it gets outputted on the PHP page (obviously).

Re-read the above. You CANNOT use client-side JS to output server-side PHP.
