I have the below piece of code in my test.php
file. The code mainly has a variable defined in PHP, and I want to send it to a JavaScript function so it could POST it. Here’s the code :
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>Payment Receipt</title> </head> <body> <?php ... if($row) { $myValue = 'Hi there!'; //the PHP variable (currently has a sample value, but will be string only) //JS starts echo <<<JS001 <script type="text/javascript"> var msg = {$myValue}; //trying to set it to a JS var, so I could send it to below function. var ThunkableWebviewerExtension = { postMessage: function (message) { if (window.ReactNativeWebView) { window.ReactNativeWebView.postMessage(message); } else { window.parent.postMessage(message, '*'); } } }; ThunkableWebviewerExtension.postMessage(msg); console.log(msg); alert('Message Sent'); </script> JS001; } else { echo 'Incorrect Value'; } ?> </body> </html>
But when I run this code, I get this error on console : Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
. What should I do if I want to send just a simple string value to the JS code? What’s wrong currently?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

You can do:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <title>Payment Receipt</title> </head> <body> <?php ... if($row) { $myValue = 'Hi there!'; ?> <script> var msg = "<?php echo $myValue; ?>"; //trying to set it to a JS var, so I could send it to below //Your remaining js script here ... </script> <?php } else { //your else condition } ?> </body> </html>
