You can't do that.

You could do this:
<?php
require 'def.js';
if (...) echo "def('all_not_filled');";
?>

Then, when the page gets sent to the browser, the def() function gets
called by the browser.

PHP runs on your server.

JavaScript is run by the browser, on the web surfer's computer, millions
of miles away, and long after PHP has finished its work and gone away.
