Send PHP variable to JavaScript function

Question

I have a php file that generates a variable and I would like the variable to be put into a JavaScript function which is called by onclick on the main page. Is this possible to send from PHP to JavaScript?

Answer 1

You can do the following:

<script type='text/javascript'>
    document.body.onclick(function(){
        var myVariable = <?php echo(json_encode($myVariable)); ?>;
    };
</script>
