Run JavaScript if a file is created

@KirAsh4 Just out of curiosity, if I were to add the code you provided into the PHP file, would i need to bracket it with <?php then add the code here?>

This is hard to answer because I don’t know what your PHP file looks like. I don’t know if you are echo-ing HTML data, or using HEREDOC? I’m flying blind here … (as much fun as that could be)

@KirAsh4 I had actually uploaded that file a few posts back. For reference here’s the entire thing (forgive the ugliness)

	</style>
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/weather-icons.css">
	<script type="text/javascript">
		var gitHash = '<?php echo trim(`git rev-parse HEAD`) ?>';
	</script>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
	<meta name="google" value="notranslate" />

Then yes, write the proper PHP code and stick it in <?php ... ?> tags.

@KirAsh4 awesome, I will give it a shot. I can’t thank you enough! Much appreciated!

@KirAsh4 Ah I wasn’t aware this was for MM2. Thought he was still using MM1. Didn’t know you could run PHP scripts on MM2.

@EoF, you can, as an external process, just like everything else. :)
