this is an example:

main page:

<style type="text/css" media="screen">
  <?php include('./includes/layout.php'); ?></style>

layout.php:

body,td,th {
    font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size:12px;
}
<?PHP echo "hello"; ?>

off the top of my head anyway?

Php is run ont he server, all php code is then removed and the reamining page sent to the client
Java Script is not ran on the server but just sent to the client. This means that:

php can generate java script (because php is run first)
javascript cannot generate php as it has already left the server.
eg this works:

</php
 echo
   "<script type=\"text/javascript\">\n".
   " document.write(\"Hello World!\");\n".
   "</script>\n";
?>

but this doesn't

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("<?php echo \"Hello World\"; ?>");
</script>

I don't think the server parses .js files for php etc. Try making it a .php file and use the php header() function to set the content type to text/javascript. I think it's header("content-type: text/javascript");

you need to do this:

add this to the main page:

<script type="text/javascript" src="myjsfile.php"></script> 

rename your js file to myjsfile.php, then in your new php(js) file you put:

<?PHP
Header("content-type: application/x-javascript");
$serverIP=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
echo "document.write(\"Your IP address is: <b>" . $serverIP . "</b>\")";
?>
