passing variables from php to javascript
I'm dynamically generating a list. I want to make each row hover on mouseover and clickable to a link. I want the link to pass the id of the content of the row.
Basically:
foreach ($courses as $cid=>cinfo){
$univ = $cinfo['univ'];
$desc = $cinfo['desc'];
$size = $cinfo['size'];
$start = $cinfo['start'];
print "<div class='rc_desc' id='rc_desc$cid'>"."$desc<br/>"."<b>$univ</b><br/>".
"<span>Number of students</span>: $size<br/>".
"<span>Started at</span>: ".date('F d, Y',strtotime($start))."<br/>".
}
<script>
$(function ()
{
$('#rc_desc$cid').hover(function ()
{
$(this).toggleClass('.tr');
});
$('#rc_desc$cid').click(function ()
{
$(location).attr('href','student.php?$cid');
});
});
</script>
The issue is in the js/jquery. I want to be able to grab the $cid and pass it to the student.php page upon click. The php code above works but the js won't of course. I know the fundamental of client-side vs server-side languages. This question doesn't warrant a lecture. I know I cannot do this exactly, but it is what I want to happen ultimately. Any thoughts on how I can achieve this simply? Thanks in advance my friends!

We can pass data from PHP to JavaScript in two ways depending on the situation. First, we can pass the data using the simple assignment operator if we want to perform the operation on the same page. Else we can pass data from PHP to JavaScript using Cookies. Cookie work in client-side.
Besides, PHP and JavaScript similarities, these two languages are a powerful combination when used together. Large numbers of websites combine PHP and JavaScript – JavaScript for front-end and PHP for back-end as they offer much community support, various libraries, as well as a vast codebase of frameworks.
To Set PHP Variable in JavaScript, we define a JS variable and assign PHP value using PHP tag with single or double quotes. Most of the time you have to set PHP variable value in JavaScript. If there is only simple variable like string or any integer then you can simply echo on the JS variable with PHP tag.
You can easily get the JavaScript variable value on the same page in PHP. Try the following codeL. <script> var res = "success"; </script> <? php echo "<script>document.
Yes, if you include the <script> section in your PHP code, you can do something similar to the following:
<script>
var foo = <?php echo $foo; ?>;
</script>
In your case, you would be looking into the following code structure:
<script>
$(function () {
$('#rc_desc<?php echo $cid ?>').hover(function () {
$(this).toggleClass('.tr');
});
$('#rc_desc<?php echo $cid ?>').click(function () {
$(location).attr('href', 'student.php?<?php echo $cid ?>');
});
});
</script>
The reason why this is possible is because although the Javascript is run on the client-side, it's processed on the server-side first prior to being presented on the page. Thus, it'll replace all necessary instances of $cid with the one you have included.
Enjoy and good luck!
EDIT:
<script>
$(function () {
$('.rc_desc').hover(function () {
$(this).toggleClass('.tr ');
});
$('.rc_desc').click(function () {
$(location).attr('href', 'student.php?' + $(this).attr('id').split('rc_desc')[1]);
});
});
</script>
You can do it like this :
$(location).attr('href','<?php echo $cid ?>');
The javascript code doesn't know it comes from php, it appears as a constant (a literal) for it.
