Is it okay to use PHP inside a jQuery script?

Question

For example:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(\'.selector\').click(function(){
        
    });
});
         


        

Answer 1

PHP is executed on the server, and then the javascript will be executed on the client. So what you'd be doing here is using php to generate javascript that will become the function body. If that's what you were trying to do then there's nothing wrong with doing it.

If you thought you were going to invoke some PHP code from javascript, then you're on the wrong track. You'd need to put the PHP code in a separate page and use an ajax request to get the result.
