PHP within .JS file

I would love to post some starting code in this question, but to be honest, I' stumped.

I'm looking for a way to use PHP within my .JS file.

I would like to be able to use real PHP functions inside my "stuff.js" and then be able to include it using:

<script type="text/javascript" src="whatever.js"></script>

Any thoughts? Thanks.

You just have to write your JavaScript into a php file and then include it

<script type="text/javascript" src="whatever.php"></script>

I would recommend you keeping your JS functions in a .js file and the variable data that needs to be output dynamically could be output directly in the main php/html file:

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
  var a = "<?php echo addslashes($a); ?>";
  // ...
</script>

Other possibility would be to tell your server to proccess *.js file with php but I wouldn't recommend that as it could cause some unexpected problems.

<script src="/YOUR_PHP_FILE_PATH/file.php"></script>

Also add header in php file 

header(Content-Type: text/javascript);

It's impossible but you can use PHP file as a JavaScript file talking in a short way. ;)

<script type="text/javascript" src="whatever.php"></script>

And in whatever.php:

<?php
echo "var text = 'test';";
?>

alert(text);
