I guess the following thing is where you're looking for: http://mrarrowhead.c...g_variables.php

I suggest the following code:

php:

<?php
$arr = array('foo','bar','baz','blong');
session_start(); // start up your PHP session!
$_SESSION['arr'] = $arr

echo json_encode($arr);
?>[/CODE]

html:

[CODE]<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript">

$.ajax({
url: [i]url[/i],
dataType: 'json',
data: [i]data[/i],
success: [i]callback[/i]

});

//Yes this is php inside js LOLZ
$_SESSION['arr'] = $arr
echo $arr;
session_destroy(); //If you want to remove the global variable again

</script>[/CODE]

thanks but i cant echo PHP in a html script

you need to make the html into a php like this:

php html:

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript">

$.ajax({
url: [i]url[/i],
dataType: 'json',
data: [i]data[/i],
success: [i]callback[/i]

});
<?php
$_SESSION['arr'] = $arr
echo $arr;
session_destroy(); //If you want to remove the global variable again
?>

</script>[/CODE]

php is a server side code and js is a client side code so you can just put php inside js or wherever you want since the php has already been parsed into text when the js code starts ;) so if you test this php file you shouldn't see the php but the php results when you check the page source from within the browser.

You can also open and close php tags wherever you want so you can use php all over the page to add support for IE.

As example, I use the following code to change "placeholder" into "value" for my textboxes when IE is used:

[CODE]
<input class="input" type="text" name="name" <?php if(preg_match('/(?i)msie [6-9]/',$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) { echo 'value'; } else { echo 'placeholder'; }?>="Name" />
[/CODE]

Keep in mind that client side js code can never ever acces php code since the php code has already been parsed so js is never able to use a php variable without using php in the page to put the variable value into the js,

Are you trying to access the array/json returned by test.php inside test.html?

If so, the PHP part is correct, but you need to access the json returned inside the callback:


<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript">

$.ajax({
url: "test.php",
dataType: 'json',
success: function(json) {
// json now holds the array ["foo", "bar", "baz", "blong"]
console.log(json);
}
});

</script>[/CODE]

ok maybe i did not explane correctly here is my full script


<!DOCTYPE html>

<script type="text/javascript">
var map;
var mapOptions = { center:
<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM location ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo 'new google.maps.LatLng('.$row['latitude'].', '.$row['longitude'].'),';
}
?>
zoom: 14,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP };
function initialize() {
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);
var userCoor = [

]
var userCoordinate = new google.maps.Polyline({

strokeColor: "blue",
strokeOpacity: 1,
strokeWeight: 4
});
userCoordinate.setMap(map);
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var marker, i;
var image = new google.maps.MarkerImage('green.png',
// This marker is 20 pixels wide by 32 pixels tall.
new google.maps.Size(20, 20),
// The origin for this image is 0,0.
new google.maps.Point(0,0),
// The anchor for this image is the base of the flagpole at 0,32.
new google.maps.Point(10, 10));


for (i = 0; i < userCoor.length; i++) {
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(userCoor[i][1], userCoor[i][2]),
map: map,
icon : image
});

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {
return function() {
infowindow.setContent(userCoor[i][0]);
infowindow.open(map, marker);
}
})(marker, i));
}
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

</script>
</body>
</html>
[/CODE]

i would like the map to refresh every 20 seconds but not the whole page so i need to remove the PHP and put them in a PHP file then just call it every 20 seconds

Are you trying to access the array/json returned by test.php inside test.html?

If so, the PHP part is correct, but you need to access the json returned inside the callback:

[CODE]
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="javascript">

$.ajax({
url: "test.php",
dataType: 'json',
success: function(json) {
// json now holds the array ["foo", "bar", "baz", "blong"]
console.log(json);
}
});

</script>[/CODE]

yes that is it now i have the array how do i get it global

  • 0

by global i mean this

works



$.getJSON("test.php",
function(data){
userCoor = data;
document.write(data);
});
[/CODE]

[b]Dont work[/b]

[CODE]
$.getJSON("test.php",
function(data){
userCoor = data;

});

document.write(data);
[/CODE]

$.getJSON("test.php",

document.write(data);

[b]Dont work[/b]

[CODE]
$.getJSON("test.php",
function(data){
userCoor = data;

});

document.write(data);
[/CODE]

You can't. $.ajax/$.getJSON calls are asynchronous (that's why they have a callback), the global scope line:

[CODE]document.write(data);[/CODE]

will be executed before the callback is completed, you need to do the actual work in the callback.

[CODE]
$.getJSON("test.php",
function(data){
userCoor = data;
// Do something with the data, like pass it off to another function which modifies the DOM.
});[/CODE]

    • I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article? Here is a better article so you actually know what is going on and answers questions you had in other comments --> https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/05/speed-boosting-low-latency-profile-is-one-of-the-improvements-coming-to-windows-11/ It is unclear if one will be able to disable the new profile at this point but I am not seeing any reason why one would.
    • I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.

With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data.

    • Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
