Simple php site with javascript

Question

<?php
$site= <<< END
   <script src="auto.js"></script>
   <html>
      <body>
        body
      </body>
   </html>
END;
    echo($site);
?>

I try to make a simple php site with JavaScript but the JavaScript does not execute. Where am I wrong? I have the auto.js file in the same dir:

alert("Hello world");

Try moving your <script> tag inside of the <body> tag. See if that changes anything. — Justin Chmura

Side note: its not really best practice to use server code to display client side content. You should consider keeping the two separate. Use ajax to bridge the two together. — Sir

try moving the script inside the html.

<?php
$site= <<< END
   <html>
      <script src="auto.js"></script>
      <body>
        body
      </body>
   </html>
END;
    echo($site);
?>

also make sure the js file is in the same folder as your script.

Try adding quotes around the '$site'.

$site = '<script src="auto.js"></script>
<html>
  <body>
    body
  </body>
</html>';

You can replace echo($site); with echo $site; I'm not sure what the <<< END part is for - I've never seen it before in php.

"I'm not sure what the <<< END part is for - I've never seen it before in php." No offense, but you're not in a position to comment. This is PHP 101.

heredoc syntax does not require quotes

My comment was for Pinch. Heredoc syntax is one of the first things you study in PHP.

I'm a self taught PHP programmer - I might miss a few things. I've been using it for 3 years without having seen this in anyone else's code. Every time I try to help out in this community someone shoots me down. Rest assured, I'll look it up now. David, by 101 he means it's the first thing you should learn in PHP.

@Pinch its a Heredoc syntax. Visit PHP manuals or more details

Script tag is outside of the HTML tag.

What is the browser?

In Chrome this is working:

<?php
$site= <<< END
   <script src="auto.js"></script>
   <html>
      <body>
        body
      </body>
   </html>
END;
echo($site);
?>
