    Try this:

    <?php $htmlString= 'testing'; ?>
<html>
  <body>
    <script type="text/javascript">  
      // notice the quotes around the ?php tag         
      var htmlString="<?php echo $htmlString; ?>";
      alert(htmlString);
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

    When you run into problems like this one, a good idea is to check your browser for JavaScript errors. Different browsers have different ways of showing this, but look for a javascript console or something like that. Also, check the source of your page as viewed by the browser.

    Sometimes beginners are confused about the quotes in the string: In the PHP part, you assigned 'testing' to $htmlString. This puts a string value inside that variable, but the value does not have the quotes in it: They are just for the interpreter, so he knows: oh, now comes a string literal.
