Recommended Posts

I have bought and read larrys php for the web 4th edition, and php and javascript.

 

I am having trouble with the example in chapter 11 of php and javascript .. accessing a javascript function form inside php.

I spend all morning typing the question in notepad but for some reason I cant copy/paste it to forum box .. tried ctrl/c-ctrl/v .. edit-copy/edit-paste .. right click copy/paste .. nothing works

Hi Jerry,

 

I did not see this earlier but here's an example of accessing a JavaScript function from within PHP...

 

First, the function - note that it has a built-in fadeout so the redirection takes 5 seconds whilst fading - it also uses jQuery:

function redirect()

    {

     $('#fadeout_area').fadeOut(5000);

     setTimeout(function() {

       window.location.replace('./index.php?p=whatever');

    }, 5000);

    }

now the PHP invocation of the JS function:

echo '<script type="text/javascript">', 'redirect();', '</script>';

Hope it helps.

 

Cheers from Oz.
