php help

If i want to add a script to a php page when i wanna put it somewhere, do i go
<script> php here </script> Cause i do that and its not working.

p.s first time adding scripts to my site.

You can close the PHP tags or you can use a echo

PHP Code:

---

<?php
// My 1st PHP code
?>
<script></script>
<?php
// My 2nd PHP code
?>

---

PHP Code:

---

<?php
echo("<script></script>");
?>

---

You cant use " in the echo tag ;)

Unless you use ' when the echo uses " or vice versa. or slash out the " or ' s or use a more advanced echo method so as to avoide the problem all together "/

e.g.

Code:

---

<?php
echo ("This is text<font face=\"verdana\" size=\"2\">This would make the font Verdana Size 2</font>")
?>

What are you trying to do? Add PHP to the site, or are you trying to add JavaScript using PHP?
To add PHP to the site:

PHP Code:

---

<?php
#PHP here..
?>

---

To add JavaScript, just place the script tag outside of the PHP tag. If you're trying to add dynamic content though, you'll just need to print the JavaScript tag.
Example:

PHP Code:

---

<?php
$date = date("l \- jS");
print '<script type="text/JavaScript">alert(\'The date is: '.$date.'\');</script>';
?>
