Going from PHP to Javascript

[spidy752002]

I am making a website and I wrote out my code in PHP. Now I need to make a part in the program that allows me to open a new window. I tried to do this using JavaScript. My problem is, when I try to access my php variables in the JavaScript I can't get any of them to show up? If someone knows of a line of code I could use, or something that would be very greatful.

<script type="text/javascript">
  var javascriptVariable = "<?php echo $phpVariable?>";
</script>

[man]addslashes/man would also be helpful, as to avoid problems with variables breaking javascript.

Of course you can't access PHP variables in Javascript. PHP variables live on the server; Javascript runs on the client.

If you want to use the values of particular PHP variables in your Javascript code, you'll have use PHP to dynamically generate Javascript code that defines them, as Weedpacket described.
