Can I use php variables in javascript?

[hatman]

Yes, another newbie question!
This is probably something very simple,
can i use php variable in javascript and if yes how do i declare it so JavaScript understands what I'm telling it?

function synch() { 
window.document.menu.SetVariable("pageinfo", $page); 
}

Thanks yall!

but you need to pass the value to the client

echo "function synch() {
window.document.menu.SetVariable("pageinfo", $page);
}";

Thanks bastien!
It also seems to work like this:

function synch() {
window.document.menu.SetVariable("pageinfo", "<?echo $page?>");
}

What would be the difference - if any?
