 * Hi guys, I’ve installed the Exec-PHP and Inline Javascript plug-ins for a project
   I’m working on. Up to this point the PHP has been separate from the Javascript,
   but I need to populate a JS array from a MySQL query.
 * What I’d like to know is if it’s at all possible to embed Javascript within PHP(
   or vice versa) using these plug-ins. So far what I’ve tried hasn’t been working.
 * I found this site: [http://codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=52060](http://codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=52060)
 * But unfortunately I can’t seem to embed the two languages together. The following
   code appears to do nothing:
 *     ```
       [inline]
       <script type="text/javascript">
       <?php echo 'asdfsadfa';?>
       </script>
       [/inline]
       ```
   
 * And this will throw a syntax error because of the [inline] tags:
 *     ```
       <?php
       [inline]
       <script type="text/javascript">
       document.write('Hello World!');
       </script>
       [/inline]
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Is there any way to accomplish what I’m doing? I don’t know Javascript too well.
   The array is supposed to collect latitude/longitude points so I can put them 
   down as markers on a Google map.

 * Try using php to echo all the javascript:
 *     ```
       <?php
       echo "<script type='text/javascript'>\n";
       echo "document.write('Hello World!');\n";
       echo "</script>";
       ?>
       ```

 * Thanks! Didn’t even think to try that.
