Question

basically I know more or less how to do it but would like to know if there is any better way?

I have the following variables in PHP

$day; $month; $year;

The ones above have values from exploding a php date string.

Below is PHP plugin function which states the date for countdown.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
    var austDay = new Date();   
    austDay = new Date(2013, 12, 22);
    $('#defaultCountdown').countdown({until: austDay});
});
</script>

I would like to pass the date day/month/year variables into that function from PHP
how can I do it, when I tried to attach to the javavariable and put that variable in place of the date part, it didnt work.

Thanks for all help

Answer 1

var day  = <?php echo $day ?>; 
var month = <?php echo $month ?>; 
var year = <?php echo $year ?>;

$(function () {
    var austDay = new Date();   
    austDay = new Date( year, month, day );
    $('#defaultCountdown').countdown({until: austDay});
});
