You still don't get it. You DON'T MIX PHP WITH ANYTHING. PHP is a server
language that is used to process what is received from the browser, do
things on the back end like process files or write to the database, and then
send an HTML page back to the browser. Javascript is strictly a browser
side language and its actions are strictly client side. If it has to do
something on the server, it submits the page or, with AJAX, submits a
message which is transmitted to the server and read and processed by the
server side code. THEY DON'T MIX. What you can do on the server side with
PHP is to write TEXT (inside the resulting HTML document) which, when
received and read by the browser, is interpreted as Javascript.
