Very easily. If you look at http://www.vex.net/php/ and click on the
"View Source" button at the bottom of the page, you will see:

<?$lynx=0;
  if(reg_match(".*ozilla/[23].*",$HTTP_USER_AGENT) ||
     reg_match(".*MSIE.3.*",$HTTP_USER_AGENT)); $js=1;
  $start_msg = " Welcome to the PHP/FI Page";
>
        <script language="JavaScript">
        var CurrentMsg = '<?echo $start_msg>';
        ...

That's a code fragment which checks to see if you are using either
Netscape 2,3 or IE 3 and if so, sends a JavaScript where the CurrentMsg
JavaScript variable is set to the value of the $start_msg PHP/FI variable.
That $start_msg variable could easily have come from an msql() call in
PHP.
