Ever wanted to get some database content or server side scripting output onto
\na plain old HTML (non-php) page?<\/p>\n

I wrote a link database script in PHP that I wanted to share with other web
\n sites. But most of these web sites were written in HTML, not PHP. I discovered
\n that I could call a PHP file using JavaScript to display my database of links
\n on other peoples web sites.<\/p>\n

All that is required is that your PHP script be on a server running PHP and
\n that the output of the PHP script be valid JavaScript.<\/p>\n

Anyone who wanted to use my database
\n of links just needed to place this script in their HTML where they wanted to
\n display the content:<\/p>\n

<script language=\"JavaScript\" type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\">http:\/\/mydomain.com\/scripts\/db_links.php\"><\/script><\/a><\/code><\/p>\n

My PHP script looked something like this:<\/p>\n

<?PHP
\n function get_links(){<\/code><\/p>\n

\t\/\/ get data from database
\n $result=mysql_query(....<\/code><\/p>\n

\/\/ store formatted data into a variable
\n $content.= ....<\/code><\/p>\n

}
\n ?>
\n <\/code><\/p>\n

<!-- Hide from non JS enabled browsers
\n \/\/ Use JavaScript to write content to
\n screen
\n document.write('<?PHP echo $content; ?>');
\n \/\/--> End Hide<\/code><\/p>\n

That was it. I was surprised at how easy it was.<\/p>\n

Hope it helps someone else.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
