How to combine javascript with php

Hi,

My javascript is,

var fvisit  = setTimeout(function(){
        $.niftyNoty({
            type: 'dark',
            title: 'Hello',
            message: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetuer <br> adipiscing elit sed diam nonummy nibh.',
            container: 'floating',
            timer: 55000
        });
        clearTimeout(fvisit);
     }, 3000);

PHP script,

<?php echo validation::safeOutputToScreen($Auth->getAccountScreenName()); ?>

I try combine script like below,

var fvisit  = setTimeout(function(){
        $.niftyNoty({
            type: 'dark',
            title: 'Hello <?php echo validation::safeOutputToScreen($Auth->getAccountScreenName()); ?>',
            message: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetuer <br> adipiscing elit sed diam nonummy nibh.',
            container: 'floating',
            timer: 55000
        });
        clearTimeout(fvisit);
     }, 3000);

But get output like,

Hello getAccountScreenName()); ?>

Thanks

You cannot run PHP inside javascript. You can get away with certain things such as having html that invokes javascript functions in PHP variables etc..

Exactly. The PHP parser isn't going to parse the Javascript in a separate file. However, if that script was inside a script tag in a PHP page, then it should get parsed before rendering and should behave as you intend.

Fixed! I put the script in php

<script type="text/javascript"> var fvisit = setTimeout(function(){ $.niftyNoty({ type: 'dark', title: 'Hello <?php echo validation::safeOutputToScreen($Auth->getAccountScreenName()); ?>', message: 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetuer <br> adipiscing elit sed diam nonummy nibh.', container: 'floating', timer: 55000 }); clearTimeout(fvisit); }, 3000); </script>

Thanks you so much
