Javascript and PHP

[drums]

Tried asking this before but got no response so I guess I'll try again... Hopefully someone has experienced this before and can shed some enlightenment. Some things work and some don't... I have a time script that just displays the current date and time. It will not work even when adding as echo ("script in here using single ' quotes"); I even tried to end php, stick it in and start php after and it still won't work.
I also have a more pressing issue regarding popup windows that won't work either.
CODE: popup.js is enclosed.

<a href=file.htm' onclick='PopUp(this.href,'550','500');return false'>open this file</a>
How to call it?

This is a volunteer site I do for our local little league and really appreciate any help offered.
Thanks

no code is enclosed. post it as a TEXT file, please.
on the snippet you did post, i noticed you are missing a single quote before file.htm, not sure that will fix the problem, but it is certainly bad habit.

I did notice that error too and that is not the problem...
Here's the code:
CODE: popup.js
function PopUp(PopUpUrl,xW,xH){
var ScreenWidth=window.screen.width;
var ScreenHeight=window.screen.height;
var movefromedge=0;
placementx=(ScreenWidth/2)-((xW)/2);
placementy=(ScreenHeight/2)-((xH+50)/2);
WinPop=window.open(PopUpUrl,"","width="+xW+",height="+xH+",toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status =1,scrollbars=1,menubar=0,resizable=1,left="+placementx+",top="+placementy+",screenX=" +placementx+",screenY="+placementy+",");

Below is code to access:
<a href='file.htm' onclick='PopUp(this.href,'550','500');return false'>open this file</a>
I use it in an array calling from an include
echo $text['emailpresident']; and have tried as a straight echo ("<above code>");. I have a feeling it's the quote/double quote issue so I tried changing some of those to no avail.
Maybe there's a function in PHP that opens windows?

Thanks!

Got it!

Just figured out that using \ in front of the " does the trick.
Still curious if there is a way to use a PHP function.
Thanks

no, there isnt. PHP is run at the server, where as Javascript run at the clients computer. That means that javascript cannot do things that PHP can (eg: databases) but it can do other things (eg: dynamic menus)
