[RESOLVED] header() php function "Content-Type"
Can someone please explain to me how to use header(“Content-Type: text/javascript”)? I want to have code on another page that has <script src=”” /> and I want to be able to access variables defined in the php.

[code=php]
<?php
header("Content-Type: text/javascript");
// 1. connect to database
// 2. create query (for this example assume it's called $query
$options = mysql_query($query);
$text = "<select name='combo'>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($options))
{
$text .= "<option>{$row[0]}</option>";
}
$text .= "</select>";
echo "document.write("$text");";
?>
[/code]In your HTML document within the form, you would access it via the script tag:
[code=html]
<form>
<!-- various inputs go here, then for your javascript select element, do this -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.php.server/combo.php"></script>
<noscript><p>ERROR: This form requires that Javascript be enabled.</p></noscript>
<!-- rest of form follows here -->
</form>
