    The better way would be using json_encode to convert the PHP string to JavaScript. In this case it makes no real difference but when you have other strings it ensures that you’ll always have valid JavaScript no matter what the PHP variable contains.

    $(document).ready(function() {   
    $("#showcase_right").awShowcase({
        transition : <?php echo json_encode($slide); ?>
    });
});

    Another option would be storing the value e.g. in a data- attribute, e.g. in the <body> tag:

    <body data-transition="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($slide); ?>">

    Then you can access it in your JavaScript code using $('body').data('transition')
