Using a PHP variable in JavaScript

[TripleDES]

If I store a variable in

$date= $_POST['date'];

 

How do I go about using it in a javascript?

 

{
var myAjax = new Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater('date', 'rand.php', {method: 'post', frequency: 5.0, decay: 1});
}

You can use;

 

<?=$date?>

 

or;

 

<?php echo $date; ?>

Thanks, but I still can't get it to work:

 

{
var myAjax = new Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater('date', <?=$date?>, {method: 'post', frequency: 5.0, decay: 1});
}

Simple example:

 

<script>
var test = "<?php echo date.php;?>";
function myDate()
{
var myAjax = new Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater('date', test, {method: 'get', frequency: 2.0, decay: 1});
}
</script>
