Assign VFP variable values from JS

[murali_mepath]

hi,

I have a javascript variable in my webview section by the name of "message". This variable has a string. How do I assign this value to one of my VFP variables?

Lianja.execute("VFPVariable = message")

doesn't seem right :-)

And another thing. I want to "blank out" one of my VFP variables from javascript / webview. So the command would be

Lianja.execute("VFPVariable =""")

This doesn't work either. Kindly suggest.

Cheers,
Murali

Hi Murali,

Lianja.execute("VFPVariable  = '" + message + "'");

and

Lianja.execute("VFPVariable  = ''");

Strings can be delimited with double-quotes "", single quotes '', or square brackets []. This allows you to have quotes within quotes.

hi,

If I am executing something similar to

Lianja.execute("VFPVariable  = '" + message + "'");

from php, will it still be + message + ? Or will this operator(+) change depending on the scripting language?

I have this php page where I have the following code

$route_count = 5; // Numeric
// Now assign this value to a VFP global (numeric)variable called "gnroutecount"
Lianja.execute('gnroutecount = ' + $route_count);

Is that the right way?

Thanks & Regards,

oops ....the below works

$route_count = 5; // Numeric
// Now assign this value to a VFP global (numeric)variable called "gnroutecount"
Lianja.execute('gnroutecount = ' . $route_count);

So use the (scripting)language specific concatenator when doing such operations. For a while I was thinking that as these methods are of Lianja object, they are probably the same, irrespective of the scripting language...duh

Exactly. The Lianja system object property accessors and method calls need to adhere to the host scripting language syntax. In this case PHP. It's good to see you exploring the integration of the scripting languages.
