You can't, you'll have to do something like
<script type="text/javascript">
var php_var = "<?php echo $php_var; ?>";
</script>
You can also load it with AJAX
rhino is right, the snippet lacks of a type for the sake of brevity.
Also, note that if $php_var
has quotes, it will break your script. You shall use addslashes, htmlentities or a custom function.
