Passing php variable on a javascript

[frank_solo]

How can I pass a variable onto a javascript. Trying to use google maps. Trying to get the variable cross_streets to work on the google maps script. Any other way of doing this?

 

<div id="map" align="center" style="width:300px; height:300px">
  <div align="center">
    <?php $cross = $result['cross_streets']; ?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
    $("#map").gMap({ markers: [{address:"'<?php echo $cross ?>', New York, NY"}],zoom: 15});
});
    </script>
  </div>

What you have done should work, what does the output look like?

Your method of inputting a PHP variable into your javascript is fine. Looking at your JS, it looks like you may have some issues there (which is probably why it's not working), but that's a different topic than this one (which is how to insert PHP variables into JavaScript).

 

Are you able to the output of your php variable when you look at the HTML page source?
