The PHP Javascript Tango

[kreut]

Hello,

 

I'm using PHP to pull off some info from my database.  I wind up with a variable called $question_type.  I'd then like to use this variable in a javascript (jquery) function.  (I'm going to only show a section of the page with $question_type as my id).  My question is can these two languages be combined?  In otherwords, if I'd like to create a jquery function Show($question_type) where the Show function is in jquery and the variable is from PHP.  I WOULD do this in php, but there's a ton of html for each question_type section so I think that it would be much cleaner using jquery (though a clean php solution would be more than acceptable!)

 

Thanks...
