Why don't you just do the check at the begining of bidNow.php?

I agree. Plus, you can run a php function/use variables unless you are inside php tags (<??>). The only way to do it like you have is to have the checkbid function be javascript, but you would still need to echo the javascript so as to transfer the php variable to an actual value.
