how to include php file in javascript function?

Question

I have 2 files abc.php and xyz.php. When i open in mobile, it includes abc.php and on desktop xyz.php is included. I have included these files below but it's not working. Any suggestions welcome.

<script>
if( /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ) {
            <?php include ('abc.php');?>
            } else {
            <?php include ('xyz.php');?>
            }
 </script>

Try using ajax to call functions from php files that you need, not including the files — gaganshera

You can't do that - you would need to use php to determine which file to include. Using the useragent is not reliable anyway but you could use php to process the useragent rather than javascript — Professor Abronsius

PHP is server side language. You cannot load like that.

So use ajax instead.

<script>
    if( /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ) {
        var include = "abc.php";
    } else {
        var include = "xyz.php";
    }
    $.ajax({
         url:"url to a function where you can include specified file",
         type:"POST",
         data:{file: include},
         success: function(){
              // you can get executed content of a file here. 
         }
    });

</script>
