    copied!<p>I've read lots of thread on here but I am still unable to get a variable passed from PHP to an external JS file and wondered if someone could assist?</p> <p>In my PHP file I have the following;</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; var pass_this_variable = &lt;?php $company['website']; ?&gt;; &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="/js/track.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>In the JS file I have the following;</p> <pre><code>document.write('&lt;IFRAME SRC="$company['website']" WIDTH="300" HEIGHT="400"&gt;&lt;/IFRAME&gt;'); </code></pre> <p>What I am trying to achieve is an IFRAME be opened and populated with what is contained within $company['website']. I know I can just use IFRAME directly in the PHP file, but this isn't what I have been tasked with for my homework. When I do use IFRAME directly in the PHP file it works fine, and if I specify a static URL in the JS file such as <a href="http://www.google.com" rel="noreferrer">http://www.google.com</a> this also works fine.</p> <p>Can anyone assist? Thanks</p> <hr> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Thanks for the answers so far, however I'm still unable to get it working :(</p> <p>The frame that I have in track.php (or track.js) won't load the url thats specified in <code>$company['website']</code>, yet if I change it to <a href="http://www.google.com" rel="noreferrer">http://www.google.com</a> its working fine. For some reason the <code>$company['website']</code> value isn't being passed :(</p>
