Can I write PHP inside JavaScript inside PHP? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Yes, but I can only get what you want if I place the code after the relevant HTML. You can echo scripts...for example, this will work:

Hey

   document.getElementById('footer').innerHTML = '$myVar';
";
?> // You will see Hello in the footer

but this will not work:

   document.getElementById('footer').innerHTML = '$myVar';
";
?>
Hey
// You will see Hey in the footer

As a side note, these other functions/methods will work too:

$myVar = 'Hi';
echo "";//Alerts 'Hi'

$myVar = 'home.php';
echo "";//Takes you to home.php

$myVar = 'hi';
echo "";//calls myFunction with argument $myVar
