Running javascript before sending php mail

phpdoctor · #1 (**permalink**) 04-03-07, 08:46 PM

Hi
I have a situration were I need to send html throught mail() but it has Javascript in it and needs to run before its gets sent because email programs dont allow Javascript to be ran.

Simple Example:

PHP Code:


			


$body = '<html>

<head>

<script type="javascript">



    function my_function()

    {

    // do stuff

    }



</script>



</head>

<body onLoad=my_function()>



</body>

</html>' ;



$headers =  "From: $email\r\n" ;

$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" ;

$headers .= "Content-type:text/html; charset:\iso-8859-1\r\n" ;

mail ($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

Thanks
Lex

What does you JS function do, can it be repeated in php, if yes do it in php.

I doubt java script functions would work well with php. I've tried similar things but won't work. I think its best to have them in a seperate file and include them into the .php file.

It does calculations with numbers and changes text in a html table.
I can do it in PHP. I thought of different way, thats using Hidden fields.
This should do it

The script is for a form and when submited in sends to a certain email address.
The email looks the same as form so the Javascript do calculation before sending,
Also all fields are READONLY.

If you have any other ways to do this, please tell me
