That didn't make a difference.

They are integers, but it doesn't matter since I'm just passing them to
a PHP script with AJAX.  This actually worked, but I have a new problem:

if (parentValue)
{
	<?php echo $function;?>
}

gives me these errors:
Multiple annotations found at this line:
	- Syntax error on token "<", invalid Expression
	- Syntax error on token "?", invalid Expression
	- Syntax error on token ">", FullPostfixExpression expected after this
	 token
	- Syntax error on token "echo", : expected
	- syntax error, unexpected 'EOF'

It seems like the Javascript parser has trouble with the PHP inside the
javascript, even though the javascript is in a PHP file.

I might have to try this instead.
