External Javascript files parsed by PHP?

**anode** · Jan 17, 2003, 06:59

Anyone know if external JavaScript files are parsed by PHP, and thus can have PHP variables passed to them through echo()?

No... but you can save them with a .php extension and change the Content Type to JavaScript:

PHP Code:


header( "Content-type: Text/JavaScript" );

Then all JavaScript and PHP in the file can be parsed as normal

Hope this helps!

It does..but: do I include it as a PHP include or the normal way I'd include a .js file?

Include it Javascript-style:

Code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="generatedJSfile.php">
</script>
