Hi
I have a web site based on php to display tables of servicing manuals which works ok. I now want to add an alert box that displays if there is a product the subject of a 'Recall' or 'Safety' notice.

If I add the following to the display page I get the alert box appear exactly as wanted:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
{
alert("One or more models listed in this table are the subject of a Recall/Safety Alert")
}
</script>

However I obviously only want this to display when a php variable '$safety_alert' is set to true. (I can set this in the php section to anything that is no problem) but how do I get the value of a this, or any other, php variable to control a javascript function such as this one please?

Thanks

Like this?

PHP Code:

<?php

if ($safety_alert)
{
?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    {
        alert("One or more models listed in this table are the subject of a Recall/Safety Alert")
    }
    </script>
<?php
}
?>

You could also do it like this:

PHP Code:

 <?php
if($safety_alert){echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('One or more models listed in this table are the subject of a Recall/Safety Alert')</script>";}
?>

Again I am indebited to this forum.

I spent ages trying to work out how to include the javascript into php!

Thanks for the replies works a treat.
