I am trying to use some jQuery functions inside of my php page which I am using for a wordpress plugin. I have imported the jquery api using the below code however I’m not sure how to write the function.

 <?php
    echo "Custom Book Settings Page";
    echo '<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>';

this produces syntax error

 <?php   
     $("#form1").submit(function() { $.post("customBook-index.php"); return false; alert ("submit form 1"); });
 ?>

    Like the others have said, you can’t use JavaScipt (or any of its libraries) inside PHP. You certainly can, however, use PHP to print out JavaScript which will be run at the appropriate time.

    <?php echo "<script type='text/javascript'>
  $(document).ready(function(){   
     $('#form1').submit(function() {
        $.post('customBook-index.php');
        return false;
        alert ('submit form 1');
     });
  });
</script>";
?>
