Hi i have a php page that return a value:

dbscript.php

<?php

$con = mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

// Functions
$fname = $_GET['_fname'];

if ($fname=="GetMarkersCount") echo $markersCount = getMarkersCount();


mysql_close($con);

function getMarkersCount() {
            $count = 2;
            return $count;
        }

?>

how can i assgin the result of dbscript.php?_fname=GetMarkersCount to a variable inside a javascript code

question and description is contradictory! – zod Mar 21 at 20:16

You need to make an XMLHttpRequest. Arguably the best way for beginner to do this is to use jQuery's jQuery.get(). api.jquery.com/jQuery.get – deed02392 Mar 21 at 20:18
+1 on the jQuery suggestion! – sooper Mar 21 at 20:21
When your "other page" is generated, do you know you'll need the results of dbscript.php?_fname=GetMarkersCount, or is that a decision that gets made after the page gets to the browser? – AndrewR Mar 21 at 20:31
@deed02392 I love jQuery, but if he knows at the time the page is generated he's going to need the results of the GetMarkersCount() function, there's no need for it. – AndrewR Mar 21 at 20:37

I suppose you are trying to use Ajax and php. Try to read this example.
