<?php

    $username = "Snib";

?>
...
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    var sStr = "My name is <?php echo $username ?>.";

    document.write(sStr);
</script>
...


    This code will output this text:


    ...
    My name is Snib.
    ...

-----
i thought this code will answer my question, but when i try it, i mean the whole code, the output is looks like this one:
     .....
     My name is
     .....

$username doesn't work. can anybody help me?

Where are you getting the $username variable?

Possibly, you're trying to retrieve it from another page using the POST or GET form method. I suggest you try this instead:

$_POST['username']; //if the form method is POST
$_GET['username']; //if the form method is GET

Hope this helps,

thank you for the suggestion but i'm still confusing. My form in a.php and i want to display data from database in b.php

1) my form has 3 functions in javascript. do i need to pass the functions to php before posting the result in b.php?

2) If i used POST method,how do i declare the javascript functions to php, so that i can retrieve the information that i want?in a.php or b.php?

Why exactly would you need to pass JavaScript functions to PHP? What are you trying to accomplish.

An equivalent to my code would be something like...

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    var sStr = "My name is <?php echo $_POST['username']; ?>.";

    document.write(sStr);
</script>

I've tried $_POST method for one of the functions and it works on the next page!thank you.
However, i still have problem to pass the date.

On a.php:

//1st date
<SELECT name="MoSel" onchange="MonLen(YrSel, MoSel, DySel)"> </SELECT>
  -
<SELECT name="DySel"> </SELECT>
  -&nbsp;
<select name="YrSel" onChange="MonLen(YrSel, MoSel, DySel)"> </select>

<script language="JavaScript">
document.write(DropReadYMD(YrSel, MoSel, DySel));
</script>


//2nd date
<SELECT name="Mos" onchange="MonLen(Yrs, Mos, Dys)" >
</SELECT>
   -
<SELECT name="Dys"></SELECT>
   -&nbsp;
<select name="Yrs" onChange="MonLen(Yrs, Mos, Dys)" >
</select>

<script language="JavaScript">
document.write(DropReadYMDn(Yrs, Mos, Dys));
</script>


<script language = "Javascript">

function DropReadYMD(Yr, Mo, Dy) {
  var Y = + Yr.options[Yr.selectedIndex].text
  var M = Mo.selectedIndex // 0..11
  var D = Dy.selectedIndex + 1
  return Y + '-' + Lz(M+1) + '-' + Lz(D); }

function X()
{
  with (document.forms['form1']) { return DropReadYMD(Yr, Mo, Dy) }
}

function Y()
{
   with (document.forms['form1']) { return DropReadYMDn(Yr, Mo, Dy) }
}
</script>
//both of the functions will give yyyy-mm-dd format


By using hidden fields on the same form to send the values;
<input type="hidden" name="date1" readonly="X();">
<input type="hidden" name="date2" readonly="Y();">

---
On b.php

$dt1 = $_Post['date1'];
$dt2 = $_Post['date2'];
$query="SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE Date >= '$dt1' and
       Date <= '$dt2';
//Date in yyyy-mm-dd format

--

I want to retrieve the information between date1 and date2 but nothing works =(. Does anyone has an idea to solve the problem?

Thank you, snib. although you didnt give any answer, but i really appreciate your idea. i've tested the functions by using textfields, there's no output at all on b.php. then, i tried again by try-and-error. At last, i've found the solution.

-----
a.php
<input name="Submit" type="submit" value="Submit"
  class="formbutton" onClick="date1.value=X(),
  date2.value=Y();">

<input name="reset" type="reset" value="Reset"
  class="formbutton">
<br>

<input type="hidden" name="date1">
<input type="hidden" name="date2">

<script language="JavaScript">
function X()
{
      with (document.forms['form1']) { return DropReadYMD(YrSel,
      MoSel, DySel) }
 }

function Y()
{
       with (document.forms['form1']) { return DropReadYMDn(Yrs,
       Mos, Dys) }
}
</script>

----
b.php

$dt1 = $_POST["date1"];
$dt2 = $_POST["date2"];
$query="SELECT * FROM tbl1 Date BETWEEN '%$dt1' AND
             '%$dt2' ORDER BY Date";
