hi
im working on a php site at the moment and theres some thing i want to know if its possible in php

at the moment i show some js script for google maps in my code kinda like thi s

function showgmaps(){
?>
<script type="text/javascript">

function loadMap() 
{
	//<![CDATA[
	
	if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {

etc etc.....
        }
}

</script>

<?

}

however what i need to do is to embed this function in a php variable (so i can sent it to the <head> tag

at the moment i just go through all the js script and escape the 's - which is a BIG pain i the ass kind like this

function showgmaps(){


var $gmapscode='


<script type="text/javascript">

function loadMap() 
{
	//<![CDATA[
	
	if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {

etc etc.....
        }
}

</script>

';

}

is there any way to say


var $gmapscode=everything between point 1 and point 2

point 1
?>
<script type="text/javascript">

function loadMap() 
{
	//<![CDATA[
	
	if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {

etc etc.....
        }
}

</script>

<?

point 2

Are you just after this ???


<?PHP

function mapStuff()
{
 
echo <<<END
  function text in here ??? <br />
END;
   
}

echo "before function call<br/ >";

mapStuff();

echo "after function call<br/ >";

?>

or maybe I've not understood your question ?

You can use php to set variables serverside and use echo to generate the client side javascript with variables embedded, if that's what you mean. I have done this for yahoo maps and google maps.
