    Hi All

    Am trying to echo a PHP variable in a line of javascript but I cant get it to work, am hoping someone could help.

    I have the following line as part of a link:

    <a href="javascript:toggleLayer('NAME');"
    Code (markup):
    but need to replace NAME with a variable. Have tried this but I couldnt get it to work:

    <a href="javascript:toggleLayer('<?php echo $value['VARIABLE']; ?>');"
    Code (markup):
    Would anyone have any ideas? Thanks!:)

    Do you know what's not working? The code below should produce:

    

$value['VARIABLE'] = 'div_1';

<a href="javascript:toggleLayer('div_1');"

    Hi jestep
    for some reason it just doesnt echo the varibale, so it just returns () in the link. Not sure why.

    Ahhh actually, I think ive just realised why it doesnt work.

    My apologies, the above code does work. Its the actual sending of the variable that I made a mistake in!

    Sorry, but thanks!

    <script type="application/javascript">
    function addAnother() {
    jQuery('#addprodbox').append('<select name="prodArray[]" id="prodArray[]">
    <?php
    $prodlookup = "SELECT prodID, name FROM bolt_shop_prod";
    $proddata = mysql_query($prodlookup) or die('Failed to return data: ' . mysql_error());
    while($option = mysql_fetch_array($catdata)) {
    echo '<option value="' . $option['prodID']. '">' .$option['name'].'</option>';
    } ?>
    </select>');
    }
    </script>
