Question

I am trying to use jQuery with PHP, like this:

<th bgcolor="#FFCC00" align="center">
    <a href="" title="Sort" name="fname" id="fname" >First Name</a>&nbsp;
    <?php if($_REQUEST['o']=="fn"){ ?><img border="0"  id="b1" /><?php } ?>
</th>

jQuery code:

$('#fname').click(function() {
    alert ("come");
    <?php if ($_REQUEST['o'] == "fn") { $_SESSION['clicked'] = "fn"; } ?>
    window.location = '<?php echo $redirect ?>Clients.php?o=fn';
return false;

But it doesn’t work. Thank you for any help.

Answer 1

You can’t use PHP inside of JavaScript, not the way you are trying to.

All PHP code is evaluated server-side – while the page is being generated.
Not while jQuery is processing some callback.

This line will not work:

<?php if($_REQUEST['o']=="fn"){$_SESSION['clicked']="fn";}?>

If you clarify what you want your AJAX to do, we can help you make it do that.
