javascript and css in php

[TarinC]

how would i put javascripts and css into php files?

would i just type include(filename) or echo "<script type=blah blah blah src=...>"; or is there a different way?

The second option (echoing) is more practical. I use it anyway and it works fine with me.

Well you could use this it might make things clearer.

<?php
$java = 'YOURSCRIPT';

echo '$java';

?>

I would use the php include function

so somethinglike this:

<?php include("http://www.yoursite.com/script.js"); ?>

My mate uses it and I use it in my sites and it seems to work easy.

Its more pactical as you only have to modify one file and it changes on all pages.

But it is your choice if you want to use the other ways that the other guys mentioned ealier in the thread.

Interesting. So how do you include the CSS in a PHP file than?

I was actually wondering that also.

 

[Brandon]

Well just place it before the <?php tag.

Are you able to have an external CSS file and call it in?

if you wanted an external js file or something you could do:

<script src="blah.js"></script>
<?php include("blah.js"); ?>

If it was to be css

<?php include("blah.css"); ?>


I think that is what you mean, however I could be wrong!!

 

[Brandon]

Randomize? Do you know what your talking about those examples would not work.

 

[randomize]

Ok maybe your right

But the last time I checked with these methods, they did however work, for some strange reason!!

Instead of echo u can use
<?={the script u want to echo} ?>

why do you guys insist on confusing people?

?> *escape from current php if any*

html, css, javascript

<?php *go back into php

some php

?>
*end of file*

just do that (without the *...*s in there, those are just there so you know what the example means)
