on a website project i want to use some javaScript only on some pages not on whole project. if i include js into header.php then it will render every time on every page which i don't want. what is the best and standard method to do this?

i'm using this format

Header.php
+
content.php = index.php
+
footer.php

just make an include for the javascript in the header I'd say.

So you'll have:
header.php
javascript.php
content.php and so on...

and only include the JavaScript when you need it to be rendered

You can do something like this just include it in your header.

$pageUrl = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$pageUrl = str_ireplace(\".php\", \"\", $pageUrl);

switch ($pageUrl) {
		case \"page_name_1\": case \"page_name_2\": case \"page_name_3\" :
			echo '<script type=\"text/javascript\" language=\"javascript\" src=\"scripts/file.js\"></script>';
		break;
}

What this script dose is that it checks the page name of the currently requested file and if it matches the one you want it outputs the JavaScript code.

A firebug extension YSLOW suggest to put javascript in bottom of the page. but it is semantic or correct . as i know javascript should be placed in <head> only.
