Question

Code Igniter Form - Javascript in PHP Variable. Not for the faint of heart...

Answer 1

+3 A:

You'd need to use an AJAX call to send it back to the server. Javascript works on the client side, PHP works on the server. By the time the page is loaded and the client gets around to executing the Javascript, the server-side PHP has already finished its work and shut down. There's no way for the two to work together directly.

Answer 2

+2 A:

set_value sets the value of an <input> field. This can also be done in javascript, without using Ajax or PHP.

<html>
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        window.onload = set_hash_value_to_appt_start;

        function set_hash_value_to_appt_start()
        {
            appt_start = document.getElementById('appt_start');
            appt_start.value = parent.location.hash.substring(1);
        }
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <input id="appt_start" type="text" name="appt_start" maxlength="12">
</body>
</html>

You can use jQuery to set it to an input:

$('#appt_start').val(parent.location.hash);
