How can I get data from database using Javascript?

[ababba2]

On the column: Subtile_lang1 of the database there is: /mytext.txt

mytext.txt is a file located at /components/my_component/info

 

Using javascript I need to call the table for get the file name of that file.


So far I tried to do this:

 

$TXT_file      = JURI::base() . $current_path . $this->htmlVideoDetails->subtile_lang1;

This should grab the current path: /components/my_component/info

and then it should add to this path the /mytext.txt that is stored in the database.

This is my Javascript script:

<script>videojs('ID', {
  plugins: {
    ass: {
      src: '<?= $TXT_file; ?>',
      button: 'true'
    }
  }
})</script>

But for some reason using <?= $TXT_file; ?> I can't get anything. How should I do for get what I need?
