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

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

}
?>

]
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({

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

[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]

    • JetBrains is working to cut false positives in RustRover 2026.2 by David Uzondu Recently, JetBrains released the fifth EAP build of its dedicated IDE, RustRover 2026.2, bringing improvements like a Run gutter icon for criterion_main! macro benchmarking and a feature that alerts you when there are unused traits in your current scope. Now, the company is out with a blog post addressing one of the "most common" complaints from users: false positives. In RustRover, a false positive occurs when the editor incorrectly highlights something as an error even though the project compiles and runs successfully. This mismatch flags a gap between the IDE's internal intelligence and the actual compiler. When the editor flashes red warnings over perfectly valid code, developers lose trust in the tool, which stalls momentum. Traditionally, RustRover runs cargo check to detect compiler errors and warnings, but it also relies on its own code analysis engine to power real-time features. To provide quick feedback, this engine parses your source code into a syntax tree while inferring types and resolving names as you type. Because this engine must work on broken, half-written code and react instantly, its logic sometimes diverges from the compiler's, producing false positives that do not exist in the compiler's eyes. JetBrains said that it has a "dedicated task force" focused specifically on identifying and fixing false positives by analyzing user reports and examining large-scale open-source projects. To speed up this process, the team built an internal system modeled after Crater, the famous Rust project that compiles and runs tests for every single crate published on crates.io. This automated pipeline compares the diagnostics from RustRover's analysis with actual compiler output to catch discrepancies before they reach users, ensuring smoother workflows. RustRover, for those who're unaware, is a dedicated IDE designed specifically for Rust developers. It's been around for a couple of years now, providing features like built-in debugging via LLDB, seamless cargo integration, advanced macro expansion, and HTML support. JetBrains distributes the app under two licensing models: a paid commercial subscription and a free option for non-commercial use.
    • Last year I bought the 2TB variant for $114 on Amazon. That's crazy that the 1TB is now 67% more expensive for half the storage, even with the newer T9 already on the market. And that's considered a good deal.
    • You can disable all non needed features from Brave. There is also Brave Origin which removes them entirely and it is free for Linux.
    • I wish I could use Brave but the tab suspension feature is horrible. It doesn't suspend them like Edge does. Even after 2h open with 70+ tabs (same as Edge), it has 2GB more consumption than Edge for no reason.
