How/When do I call this function?

Um, so I am submitting a form…and processing it with php…

So, within the php conditional, I would like to call a javascript function…

Can I just do like this or is there a better way?:

[code=php]
if(isset($_POST[‘submit’])){

echo ‘<script type=”text/javascript”>’;
echo ‘ripcord();’;
echo ‘</script>’;

}
[/code]

Thanks for all your help ?
