I have a JavaScript file which has a hard coded BASEURL variable, this value

  • 0

I have a JavaScript file which has a hard coded BASEURL variable, this value is then used by other functions in the file.
I would like for this url value to be set dynamically so that I don’t need to manually change it for different installs. Is it possible to insert a PHP variable value into a JavaScript file?

    Rather than try to mix PHP into javascript files, here’s what I do in the HTML template:

    <head>
    <script>
        var BASEURL = "<?php echo base_url(); ?>";
    </script>
    <script src="/path/to/my_script1.js"></script>
    <script src="/path/to/my_script2.js"></script>
</head>

    This sets the variable and allows all your embedded scripts to access it. base_url() would be replaced by whatever method you use to fetch the base url with PHP.
