Make your code more concise with jQuery:

(1) Add this in your <head>:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>

(2) Create an element where you want the variable to be displayed, and give it an ID, e.g.:

<span id="printHere"></span>

(3) Add this in your JavaScript:

var duration="<?php echo $postduration ?>";
$('#printHere').html(duration);

For your PHP, try the following two options:

<?=$postduration?>

or…

<?php echo $postduration; ?>
