Hello,

I would appreciate if you could help me with the question I have.

I have created an external javascript(calculate.js) that has a function called calculate and this function calculates a price
depending on the dates the user select.
What I am trying to do now is to run this method in an php page and its result to display it in a table like the example:

<table>
<tr>
<td>calculate(1,2,2,0)</td>
<tr>
</table>

I have put in the head tag the code where is the javascript
<script language="javascript" src="calculate.js"></script>

But I don't know how to display the result of what that function returns.

I manage to do it as a hyperlink and is working but I want just to display to a page without the user click on it.

<td height="39" colspan="4" class="table2"><a href="javascript:calculate(<? echo $dropoffperiod; ?>,2,0,1)"> see price</a></td>


Can you please help me how I can do that?

Thank you,
Xenia

<td height="39" colspan="4" class="table2">
  <script type="text/javascript">
    document.write(calculate(<? echo $dropoffperiod; ?>,2,0,1));
  </script>
</td>

A better option might be to translate the calculate() function to PHP and have it execute on the server along with the rest of it.

I put the code that you post and is working.
What you think is better to conver to a php request or use is as you showed me?

Thank you,
Xenia

I'd say it would be better to have the calculate() function as PHP (depending on what it does/what other resources it needs) cos then it's all together, easier to manage, and takes the processing away from the client side which can't be relied upon (What if the user doesn't have JavaScript enabled?)

Do you think that it is better to create the function in PHP rather than in javascript?

Yes.
