将变量传递给 PHP 中的 javascript 函数以隐藏或显示特定的 div？

Question

I am trying to create a simple FAQ page where the user clicks the question and the answer appears below it (or hides it, if clicked again).

I got it working up to a point where all the questions will show the answer labeled "ans1". But I would like to pass a variable from each question into the function so it makes the associated answer appear. Question 1 will show Answer 1, Question 2 -> Answer 2, and so on.

My function...

function theAnswer() {
    var x = document.getElementById("ans1");
    if (x.style.display === "none") {
        x.style.display = "block";
    } else {
        x.style.display = "none";
    }
}

PHP...

<?php 
$answer = 1;
foreach($faqArray as $faq) {
    ?>
    <div class='product_container'>
        <div class='product_cell'>
            <a onclick="theAnswer()" href='#'>
            <?php echo $faq[0];?> 
            </a>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="answer" id="ans<?php echo $answer;?>" style="display:none;">
        <p><?php echo $faq[1];?></p>
    </div>
<?php 
    $answer = $answer + 1;
} ?>

If I put a variable in the onclick="theAnswer()" that dictates the associated div, how can I get the function to perform the desired result?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Your PHP code is run server-side and your Javascript code is run client-side. So the two codes cant interact with each other. I recommend hiding your element with CSS use something like this:

.hide{
 display : none
 }

and set your your div to hide like this

<div class='hide' id='answer-<?php echo $answer;?>'> .... </div>

and you would remove hide from your element's class list like this

  function theAnswer(num){
   answer = document.querySelector('#answer-' + num)
   answer.classList.remove('hide')
  }

in your php code youd have to put in the value

 .....
<a onclick="theAnswer('<?php echo $answer;?>')" href='#'>
 .....
