I am trying to pass a variable through the onclick function into javascript.
So I am trying to pass
onclick = "purchase_song(<?php echo $row['filename']; ?> , <?php echo $row['price'] ?> )"
note the function works fine if I pass it a non php variable
onclick = "purchase_song( 'filename' , 1)"
And I use a similar technique to pass variables through hyperlinks and the GET function. Is it not possible to use PHP inside a javascript onlick? If so, what am I doing wrong.
Thanks,
If the values are valid strings then you are doing everything right except one thing : to pass php input as a string argument to the javascript function you should wrap it in single quotes ':
onclick = "purchase_song('<?php echo $row['filename']; ?>' , '<?php echo $row['price'] ?>')"
The values should need to be quoted.
onclick="<?php printf("purchase_song('%s', '%s')", $row['filename'], $row['price'] ?>"
This example uses printf as its easer to see what the output from the format string.
