Question

I have a function in my Javascript script that needs to talk with the PHP to get the data in my database. But I’m having a small problem because I start the PHP in the for loop in Javascript, and then inside that for loop I get the data in my database. But the pointer in the for loop inside the PHP code is not working.. I guess the problem is in escaping? Or maybe it’s not possible at all.

Here’s my code:

(function() {
  var data = [];
  for(var i = 0; i < 25; i++) {
    data[i] = {
       data1: "<a href='<?= $latest[?>i<?=]->file; ?>'><?= $latest[?>i<?=]->title; ?></a>", // The problems
       data2: ....
    };
  };
});

I think you are confused, you are trying to use a variable of javascript in php.

You cannot do this:

<?= $latest[?>i<?=]->file; ?>'

Which expands to:

<?php
   $latest[
?>
 i
<?php
]->file;
?>

how can you possibly know the value of i, if i is a variable generated in the client side?, do not mix the ideas, i is defined in the browser and the php code is on the server.
