This should solve your problem:

onchange="showUser(this.value,'"+<?php echo $x; ?>+"')"

That should be onchange="showUser(this.value,'<?php echo $x; ?>')"

Your problem is most likely that you are naming your script with an HTML or HTM extension. Name your script file with a PHP extension and not an HTML extension. This is a common problem.

Once you do that, the solutions posted by others will work, for example:

<?php $x = 'something!'; ?>
onchange="showUser(this.value,'"+<?php echo $x; ?>+"')"

First assign a value fo $x and then use the value in javascript.

If your .js file is static, and not output by PHP, then have your PHP output a variable dynamic definition, as follows:

var myvar = <?php echo $x; ?>;

And in your HTML page use the variable as follows:

onchange="showUser(this.value, myvar);"

That should do it! :)

my extension is php, the problem is how can i assign value to $x, becuase i have onchange="fun(this.value) to send the value of the first combox. so the problem is here: <?php $x = "<div id=\"xxx\" name=\"xxx\" ><b></b></div>"; //echo $x; ?>

When you output the code with PHP, you have the absolute power over the Javascript code it outputs. try what my edit says.

Wait a minute, i think i get what your problem is, your javascript code is in a different file than the PHP code? In that case, what you need is to define a variable in your main module! and use that variable in your secondary module! Wait a minute i will edit the code...
