Parse a JavaScript file through PHP

rated 0 times [ 145] [ 3] / answers: 1 / hits: 17404 / 14 Years ago, fri, october 15, 2010, 12:00:00

I have a JavaScript file where I would like to include some php code.
The problem is that I have a few defines on PHP that I would like to use on JS as well.

Is there any way of including a .js file in HTML allowing the server to first interpret it (before downloading to the client) using php?

Thanks :)

<script src=/path/to/my/file.php></script>

In file.php you'll also want to output the correct header, before outputting anything you should have the following:

header(Content-Type: application/javascript);

EDIT: As @Tony_A pointed out, it should be application/javascript. I don't think it mattered as much when I wrote this post in 2010 :)
