Transfering value from PHP to javascript

[jokerbla]

<script type="text/javascript">
<--
<?php 
echo ("average = $average;");
?>
// -->

document.write(average);
document.write("average");
</script>

 

I want to transfer the $average from PHP to average from javascript, but this isn't working. Neither the value of average, nor the string "average" shows up at the end. What am I doing wrong?

This doesn't work either.  :-\

<script type="text/javascript">
var average=<?php echo($average) ?>;
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">

var average = <?php echo $average; ?>;

document.write(average);
</script>

 

Works fine for me.
