<script language="javascript">
function add(type) {
 
    //Create an input type dynamically.
    var element = document.createElement("input");
 
    //Assign different attributes to the element.
    element.setAttribute("type", type);
    element.setAttribute("value", type);
    element.setAttribute("name", type);
 
 
    var foo = document.getElementById("fooBar");
 
    //Append the element in page (in span).
    foo.appendChild(element);

Don't be a copy/paste programmer and you won't have these types of problems!
  • There is no PHP code in what you've shown.
  • You can't access PHP code from a browser because PHP is processed on the server.

You are not going to learn how to program and make things by copy and pasting code. It's common sense. Will you learn the contents of a test if you copy off another person? No.

Learn PHP and naturally you will learn how to solve problems you have. If for whatever reason you don't want to do that, you can hire someone to do it for you.

yes the code you posted is javascript.

Javascript is ran on the "clients" side. Meaning it is ran on your user's computer when they go to your website. It can do things like manipulate forms (like you did above).

PHP is ran on the "server" side. Meaning it is ran on your computer hosting the website. It can do things like store information.
