using drupal_add_js in php code drupal 7

Question

I want to add javascript to a single page. In php block code using the existing module

<?php 
   drupal_add_js('js/leagueSettings.js');
?>

I have a js folder in the modules/php directory where this specific module is.

I have tried using script tags also to no avail.

<script type = "text/javascript" src = "js/leagueSettings.js"></script>

leagueSettings.js is simply

(function ($) {
alert('here');
})(jQuery);

I have tried it with only the alert..doesn't matter. I have tried using the DIR magic constant in place of the path.. nothing.

Anything I am missing?

EDIT---SOLUTION

//becuase the php block is 'php' module...
drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module', 'php') .'/js/leagueSettings.js');

Where are you using drupal_add_js() in your code? As in, what function or hook? Also, be sure to read the documentation very carefully api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes%21common.inc/function/… — kevin628

the path js/leagueSettings.js is probably not working.

drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module', 'your_module_name')

If your js is in a module you can add it using the syntax above.

The same thing goes for <script> tag. the src needs to be correct.

also https://drupal.stackexchange.com/ is a great resource if you haven't checked it out yet.
