Tell us a bit more about what the included page should do. I think you want to use ajax. — machineaddict

why you are calling server side page via client side coding ? — Muhammad

if i understand you correctly, you are confusing server side and client side... if you want demo.php always included, just include it when you build your site via a php include, if you need it dynamical, as a result of a user action, you need to make an ajax call to request it from the server. jQuery &co have easy to use ajax functions — cypherabe

write method and save. and in file like filename.js

<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="filename.js"></script>
<head/>

or use

<script type="text/php" src="demo.php"></script>

or

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#div').load('demo.php');
});

you can also use ajax. like

$.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "demo.php",
        data: { name: name, email: email }
            ,
            success: function(msg) {
               // alert(msg);
            }
        });

Hope it will help you.

It is very much interesting, how Client side code, like <script> loading such Serverside code like demo.php this opens a lot of potential.

If you want to load another page in the current page, use ajax with jQuery (simple and cross-browser).

Create to javascript files (*.js):

"jquery.min.js" and copy/ paste [this][2] in.
"actions.js"

In actions.js :

jQuery(function($){

  $.ajax({
    url: "demo.php"     
  })
  .done(function(data){
    $("body").append(data) // add the loaded page as html at the body end
  })
  .fail(function(){
    console.log("fail to load demo.php");
  });

});

Skip this answer if you don't want like this, but this is using PHP as example. Someone need this example.

In PHP include using Javascript code:

<?php echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="somejavscript.js" />'

Check is really your javascript code:

Or check it like this:

<head>
<?php 

$javascript_file = "somedir/somejavscript.js";

if (file_exists($javascript_file))
{
    echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="'.$javascript_file.'" />' ?>
}
else
{
    die('file not found: '.$javascript_file);
}
?>
</head>

Note, if die() functions call it will stop script and show message error! Use it only for testing.

This is for redirection. I asked whether is it possible to load another php page using javascript if i am calling demo.php from script source.

cypherabe Over a year ago

According to comments, I'm not sure, what are you looking for. I assume, if you want to load another page, that means you want to load another HTML page, thus it is called redirect:

Try modifying the window.location property from javascript. window.location.href = "demo.php";

Or more precisely: window.top.location.href = "demo.php";

But if you want to dynamically load a script file, than you can use the jQuery load function as mentioned in the comments, or use 3 lines of javascript:

var s = document.createElement("script"); // create an empty script tag
s.src = "demp.php"; // specify source
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(s); // append it to the head tag

// Optionally you can delete the new script tag from the DOM, because the executed code will remain in the memory:
s.parentNode.removeChild(s);

Hope this helps.

Also, if you want to call PHP functions from javascript( because I read that too in comments ), than look for the PHP library: XAJAX

This is redirect, he needs load JS script.

Lajos Mészáros Over a year ago

The question is a bit ambigious to me, so I updated my answer, thanks for noting me.

Sorry, mate, I'm hungarian, but I grew to love this word, since I first saw it in a MySQL error. But thanks for the info. :)

If you use jQuery you can just call

$.getScript('other_file.js', function() {
   // script loaded
});

without jQuery you can append script in head

var script = document.createElement('script');
script.setAttribute('src', 'other_file.js');
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);

EDIT: if that file is not javascript inside php then to call it just use normal ajax. Using jQuery it will be:

$.get('script.php', function(result) {
   // do something with output from a script
});
