I want to insert a php statement into a jQuery String to update the user profile dynamically.

Here is my not working code so far:

jQueryVarWP("#kreis1").append("<option value=\""+array_list[i]+"\"<?php selected("+array_list[i]+", get_the_author_meta( \"kreis\", \$user->ID ) );?> >"+array_list[i]+"</option>");

My problem is somewhere here:

"<?php selected("+array_list[i]+", get_the_author_meta( \"kreis\", \$user->ID ) );?>

Maybe someone can help me to build this string.

  • Hi. You should have asked something like this on StackOverflow. This is completely out of scope here.

You might want to try to use wp_localize_script() to allow your javascript to use data that are normally only available using php. Here is the link in the codex that will help you do what you need:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_localize_script

Another way is to use a php to output your entire javascript code (in a php file, that is, and not a js file). That way you can use php the way you would normally do.

  • something like this: <?php $foo = 'bar'; echo '<script type="text/javascript">document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = " ' . $foo . ' ";</script>'; ?>

  • tried to echo the whole js without using the needed php, but now it says Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ''); ' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING), expecting ',' or ';' in C:\xampp\htdocs\nuts\test.php on line 125

  • Watch for characters that might need escaping.
