PHP include of menu not working

[gjensen]

What is the best way to seperate my js code from the rest of my code? I have tried to do a PHP include without success. Interestingly the code still shows up in the browser source, but not in the browser display.

If I embed the JS in the file all is fine.

Please advise.

I know the Milonic site is php, I don't know if they use includes, but I do know they rename the menu_data.js file to menu_data.php. I really don't know about php, so I'm not sure if that addresses your issue. Or if you are asking what the include code would be to include a js file?

Code: Select all

<?php include("js_file.inc"); ?>

Is one I saw on a search, but since I got that on a search I have no clue if it's even correct

I changed the name of the JS files to PHP and I can include those files.
but I still needed Milonic specific code down further in the content inorder to embed the menu at a certain location of the page layout. This is the code that shows up in the browser source, but will not work unless I put it statically into the file. Which would be tedious to maintain if i want to reuse that code in other files.

I think I didn't explain clearly. It's the menu_data file you name menu_data.php not the program files. They remain as .js files as far as I know. I've never seen anyone saying to convert the actual program files to php.

Ruth is correct. The menu code files must always remain as .js, but the _data file can be essentially anything - .js, .cfm, .php, etc. If you don't make the change your code in that file will never be parsed.
