Something like the below does not work:
<?php $nojs = false; ?>
<noscript>
<?php $nojs = true; ?>
</noscript>
As the PHP is executed regardless if JS is enabled or not. But is there a way to get a similar effect? I'm trying to set a flag if JS is disabled and then display parts of the page accordingly.
PHP is executed before javascript, so you cannot do this. You can do something such as executing a basic ajax request and storing hasjs in a session variable once the ajax page is successfully queried. You wouldn't know if it's just the fact that the ajax request wasn't successful due to something else, or if they have Javascript disabled.
Lets give this a shot anyway:
The jquery script in your head tags
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$( document ).ready(function() {
$.get( "hasjs.php", { hasjs: "1"} );
});
</script>
The PHP file (hasjs.php)
<?php
if(isset($_GET['hasjs']))
{
session_start();
$_SESSION['hasjs'] = 1;
}
?>
Then you can access the session variable to determine if they have JS based off the ajax query. Nothing stopping the user from visiting that page though if they don't have JS installed.

I'm trying to attach a PHP script to a button so when someone clicks on it, I'm sent what page they're on. I have the PHP script written and I'm trying to attach it to a JavaScript onclick call. Here's what I have so far:
<button id="location">Click to reveal the page you're on</button>
<script>
function send_sms() {
var result = '<?php locate_me(); ?>';
console.log('send_sms');
}
document.getElementById('location').addEventListener('click', send_sms, false);
</script>
However, the JavaScript gets called when the page loads - not when the button is clicked - or maybe it's just the PHP that gets run. The console.log command does not get written on page load, but the PHP script is run. Very strange - at least to me.
I'm not proficient with JavaScript, but I thought the addEventListener() would prevent that from happening. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Frank
I'm not sure about what you mean by "revealing what page the user is on", but I'm thinking that's not relevant to the question, you're asking. I'm not too kean on running php scripts on the same file, I'm running my js on. As nice_dev suggested, I would make an ajax call to a seperate php file, in order to get live updates and not having your php variables pre-loaded.
So I would write my code like this:
Your main file:
<?php // Result from your second php file ?>
<script>
// Ajax call
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#location").click(function(){
var result = '<?php echo $variable; ?>';
$.ajax({
url: "somepage.php",
type: "POST",
data: {result:result},
success: function(result){alert(result }});
});
});
</script>
<html>
<body>
<button id="location">Click to reveal the page you're on</button>
</body>
</html>
Your second file, which will handle your ajax request:
<?php
$yourvariable = $POST['result'];
if isset($yourvariable){
// The php code you want to execute
}
?>
I hope this makes sense. Otherwise, I would be happy to elaborate.
In summary, I would try to run your code on 2 files in a circular process.
Is there a PHP require_once or include_once for <script>? I know <script> is pure HTML, but does PHP or HTML have such a thing?
I would like to prevent javascript from loading twice in the same page.
Example:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-0.4.ajaxify.min.js"></script>
Seems like you are looking for this:
http://wonko.com/post/painless_javascript_lazy_loading_with_lazyload
One of the way you can run script tags in php would be
<?php
....Here is php code
?>
... add the script here(<script>....</script>
<?php
?>
Another probable way is :
Using php inside the script tags for example:
<script type="text/javascript">
var alertMsg = '<?php echo $custom_message; ?>';
alert(alertMsg);
</script>
If you are using buttons
echo('<button type="button" onclick="customfunction();">My Button</button>');
<script>
//call your customfunction here
</script>
AN UPDATE TO SOLVE LOADING SCRIPT CONTENTS TWICE
I would suggest use of javascript function which are called to the specific page as they are needed an example would be
Create a file with a .js eg
example.js
here declare your functions you would put in the script tags of a html page
In the page you want to use the <script>
Include the example.js file and you can call the custom functions from there use the obect orientend approach
Check This resource for more info about obect orientend javascrip
I am making an html script that will use jQuery.post() method in order to use a php script. The post() method needs an url of the php code but my php code is part of the html code
What Url should i use?
<html>
<body>
<button onclick="test()">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
var test = function() {
$('--I DONT KNOW--',{testvar:"hello"});
}
</script>
<?php
$testvar = $_POST['testvar'];
echo $testvar;
?>
</body>
</html>
An empty URL is a relative URL that resolves as the URL of the current page.
$.post("", {testvar:"hello"});
(Keep in mind that since your PHP does nothing with the data except output it, and your JS does nothing with the response, this will have no visible effect outside of the Network tab of your browser's developer tools).
So i have a contact page that runs some php and in that php if the email sends through correctly it runs a javascript command. I have two javascript commands one to change page and one to alert the person sending the email. Here is the code:
if ($mail_status) { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
window.location.assign("http://dtc.bz/twitch/index.html");
$('.alertfeed').show();
</script>
<?php
}else { ?>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<?php
}
?>
When I run it. It redirects me to the correct page but the second command within the php page. So how do I get the second line of the javascript run on the page I want it to redirect to?
After the page redirection no code will be executed, that's the reason "$('.alertfeed').show();" is not getting triggered. To do this you have to redirect the page first and on the page you have redirected then execute the next command.
Something like
window.location.assign("http://dtc.bz/twitch/index.html?redirected=yes");
now on the index.html check if redirected param and execute this command in php
<?php if($_GET['redirected']=='yes')
{
echo "<script>$('.alertfeed').show();</script>";
}?>
Update: Using Jquery
$(document).ready(function(){
var url = window.location.pathname;
var pieces = url.split("?");
if(pieces[1]=='redirected=yes'){
$('.alertfeed').show();
}
});
Working Demo:

Your are getting redirected because there is no condition given for redirecting.
Thats why its redirecting you every time you run it.
I have the following code to check whether the client has javascript enabled in their browser:
page.php:
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['gocheck'])) {$gocheck = $_SESSION['gocheck'];}
else {$gocheck = 'no';}
//echo $gocheck;
if($gocheck=='no'){header ("Location: ./gocheck.php"); exit;}
//Only reaches this line if gocheck.php has been run and Javascript is enabled.
unset($_SESSION['gocheck']);
//rest of page
?>
gocheck.php:
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['gocheck'] = 'yes';
echo"
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org /TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd\">
<html xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xml:lang=\"en\" lang=\"en\">
<head>
<script type=\"text/javascript\" language=\"JavaScript\">
window.location.replace('page.php');
</script>
</head>
<body>
This website requires Javascript to be enabled in your browser. <br />
Please enable Javascript and try again.
</body>
</html>
";
?>
So what should happen is the user is always redirected from page.php to gocheck.php, which sets the session variable $gocheck to 'yes' and directs back to page.php via Javascript. Because $gocheck is then equal to 'yes', page.php shouldn't direct back again tio gocheck.php.
This worked fine on my PC (using WAMP), but when I upload the files to the webhost, it seems to get stuck in an infinite redirect loop between page.php and gocheck.php. Also, if I echo $gocheck in page.php, it returns 'no', so it seems as if for some reason the session variable $gocheck is not being set properly by gocheck.php.
Could somebody please shed some light on this? Is there an error in my code? Is there something I need to change in php.ini on the webhost's server?
Thanks!
P.S. WAMP on my PC uses PHP v.5.3.0, but the webhost uses PHP v.5.2.12 - don't think this can be the problem though.
Why using php to detect if javascript is enabled or not? You can just add following html tags to your page:
<noscript>
Pleas enable javascript!
</noscript>
If the user then enables javascript and refreshes the page the javascript code will work.
ok never mind, now all session variables are being set properly, maybe it was just a question of waiting a bit until the webhost configured everything correctly (also had this problem with setting up e-mails)
