Running a PHP Mysql query loop in Javascript

Question

I'm trying to make my javascript menu dynamic by pulling existing pages from my mysql database.

I want to do this: Apply php/MySql while loop in javascript object - But in a .js file.

anylinkmenu4.items=[

[" echo looped content here   ", "echo looped content here.php"] ]

If the question above answers the question please let me know because I haven't been able to run php in a .js file.

Answer 1

Call the php file with ajax. See. http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

See Using jQuery, JSON and AJAX to populate a drop down

Answer 2

Serve a .php JavaScript file instead of a .js file, or serve it inline, or use Ajax.
