That's clearly _not_ the case as Bryan responded "Thanks for the help guys,
but I can't get it to work."

err...since Joe's didn't cut it , I felt that expansion might help.
and I'm very surprised that you find such a simple example as the few lines
I supplied hard to understand.
LOL The "prone to errors" assertion is interesting in such a short piece of
script...
It was meant as the simplest, yet complete, _working_ example of returning
javascipt using a PHP script.
A place to start from...
the basic minimum HTML tags around the script tag,
<html>...<script...></script><html>
don't see what's so prone to error there... I must be missing something
the other the bare minimum to return some javascript:
<?php #foo.php
$js = do_what_you_do_to_get_the_javascript();
echo $js;
?>
prone to error? well I guess do_what_you_do_to_get_the_javascript(); is
prone to error but it is just as prone when done from Joe's same difference.

The point of the exercise is to help Bryan "get it to work"
Clearly, although simpler, Joe's post failed in that end.
Has my post failed to help Bryan get it to work? Only Bryan can say.
Just in case Bryan hasn't got it to work yet:
I'll simplify bits for Jerry and expand some more for Bryan, best of both
worlds :-)
in the html (simplified...just the script line from the file):
<script type='text/javascript' src='bar.php?file=foo'></script>
in the javascript file foo.js:
alert("hi there!");
in the PHP file, with Joe's header:
<?php #bar.php
header('Content-type: text/javascript');
echo file_get_contents($_GET['file'].".js");
?>
or even simpler, which Jerry professes to like :-), without Joe's header
<?php #bar.php
echo file_get_contents($_GET['file'].".js");
?>
This works with and without the header in bar.php
minimum 1 code line in each file. simple enough? and yet not so simple as
Joe's post but yet expanded to a working example.
Hope this helps get it to work for you Bryan.
