PHP and jquery function

Question

I would like to know if this code is correct or not...

<?php foreach($ids as $id) { ?> 
  <script>
    loadMetadata(<?$id?>);
  </script> 
<?php }?>

or

<script>
  <?php foreach($ids as $id) ; ?> 
    loadMetadata(<?$id?>);
  <?php } ?>
</script>

Thanks

Same effect. First one generates more HTML. Both bad ways of doing things. Use AJAX. — Sergiu Paraschiv

<?$id?> doesnt makes any sense since variable itself return nothing you should use either echo or <?= $id; ?> — Mayank K. Swami

You missed the echo there. Your code will end up like this:

<script>
loadMetadata();
</script>

Add an echo before the $id. Also, not entirely sure if blocks work like that. I'd do it like this:

<?php foreach($ids as $id):?>
<script>
loadMetadata(<?php echo $id;?>)
</script>
<?php endforeach;?>
