[news.eclipse.tools.pdt] Re: PHP inside of Javascript in a .php file

[Nick Boldt <nickboldt+eclipse+newsgroup@xxxxxxxxx>]

Couple thoughts...

1. Try using fully-formed PHP, not the lazy <?= ?> format.
2. Try wrapping your javascript variable assignment (unless it's an 
integer!) with quotes.

Thus:

 <?php

 function SomeFunction()
 {

 ?>
 		<script type="text/javascript">
 		parentValue = '<?php print $parentValue; ?>';
 		</script>
 		<?
 }

 ?>

Or, better:

 <?php

 function SomeFunction()
 {
   print<<<EOHTML
<script type="text/javascript">
  parentValue = '${parentValue}';
</script>
EOHTML; // must be flushed to left margin
 }

 ?>
