Parse a JavaScript file through PHP

I’ve been trying to pass a php variable to jQuery , but with not much success.
Here’s the part of the code which I used to pass the data :

 $('#submitAuto').click(function(){
          var isDelete = $("#autoDelete").val();
          var userID = "<?php echo $userData ; ?>" ;

But I find out the userID value is the string, <?php echo $userData ; ?>, instead of $userData value.

How could I handle this problem?

Any suggestion will be welcomed,
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Move the JavaScript to within <script> tags and place in a PHP file.

Your server wont run PHP unless it has a .php file extension.

It might also be a good idea to use json_encode() like this:

var userID = <?php echo json_encode($userData); ?>;

This stops any issues with funny characters in your string.
