You can assign PHP value to javascript variable. There is a way to run php in client-side javascript not talking about server-side js here. Don't know if this is a very good idea, but you can.

As some people pointed out you have to keep in mind the php is evaluated on the server and then returned as static stuff to the browser who will then run the javascript with the added data from the server.

You have to tell the server to evaluate the js files as php files, if you are running an apache server you can do this with a htaccess-file like this:. Edit: On http page request this trick makes files with js extension be parsed by the php compiler. All php parts in the js file will get executed and the js file with added server data will be handed to the browser. However, the OP uses an html formated file probably with php extension , no js file, so in this specific case there's no need for my suggestion.

The suggested js solutions are the way to go. If the variable needs to get stored on the server, use ajax to send it there.
