I need to embed a player by the following code:

<script type="text/javascript" src=***the url***></script>

A part in the url is the ID which is retrieved from mySQL database. I know that the string concatenation can't be directly handled in the src, so I add the function in the beginning:

<head>
<script>
function call(url)
{
  var script = document.createElement('script');
  script.type="text/javascript";
  script.src = url;
  document.body.appendChild(script);
}
</script>
</head>

In the body,

<body>
  <?php ***...to retrieve ID***?>
  <script type="text/javascript"> 
    var videoid = "<?php echo $id; ?>";  //Transfer ID to javascript 
    var url="http://......"+videoid;   //Url string finished
    call(url);   //Function call
  </script>

Now the script is appended, but I can't see the player. Why?
