[SOLVED] How to use a php value in an external .js file

[prestashop_newuser]

Hi,

I am doing a small module. In that I have my hookTop function is like this

 

 public function hookTop($params){

    global $cookie, $smarty;

    $value=array();

    $sql_select="SELECT * FROM "._DB_PREFIX_."tablename";

    $value=Db::getInstance()->ExecuteS($sql_select);

    $smarty->assign('array',$value);

    $smarty->assign('default',$defaultLanguage);

    return $this->display(__FILE__, 'modulename.tpl');

  }

  

  and in hookheader where I have added all the js like this

  

   

 public function hookHeader() {

    $this->context->controller->addCSS(($this->_path).'css/styles.css', 'all');

    $this->context->controller->addJS(($this->_path).'js/modulename.js', 'all');    

    $this->context->controller->addJS(($this->_path).'js/jquery.cycle.lite.js', 'all');

  }

  

  Now I want to use one value which will be fetched from the database in public function 

hookTop($params){.....}

  and that value will be used in one of my externale .js file. So can someone kindly tell me how to send the php value to an external jquery file and use that particaular value in a js file? Any help and suggestions will be really appreciable. Thanks

hello

 

you can create variable in smarty template, just pass it to the smarty array and then, in template file use:

<script type="text/javascript">
var myVariable = '{$myVariable}';
</script>
