How does headScript() view helper work?

Question

I'm using Zend_View_Helper_HeadScript to add JavaScript code inside the <head> tag.

$view->headScript()->appendScript($javascript);
$view->headScript()->appendScript($javascript2);

This works fine, except that my code is full of <script> tags (one for each appendScript call). How to add $javascript2 to the same <script> tag? I just want to have one <script> tag inside the <head>.

What's the difference between headScript and inlineScript?

Please try

$view->headScript()->appendScript($js1)->appendScript($js2);
echo $view->headScript();

InlineScript is used if you have to add script inside your <body> Tag.

Thanks, but I use `appendScript()` in different places (custom view helpers). – Adrian Jul 06 '10 at 15:54
@Adrian just out of curiosity why is it that you need to have only one script tag. As far as I know its of no impact other then the code looking a little bit uglier. – Iznogood Jul 06 '10 at 17:30
Better readability, easier processing, (a bit) faster execution. – Adrian Jul 08 '10 at 14:57
what will this `$js1` contain? – mrN Apr 29 '11 at 08:27
