How to pass php variable's value to jquery
You can pass a PHP variable's value to jQuery by using the PHP variable in a JavaScript script, and then accessing it with jQuery. Here's an example:
In your PHP file:
Defining a variable in PHP
php
<?php
$my_variable = "hello";
?>In your HTML file:
Example of using the PHP variable in a JavaScript script, and accessing via jQuery
php
<script>
var my_variable = <?php echo json_encode($my_variable); ?>;
$(document).ready(function() {
console.log(my_variable);
});
</script>
<div class="alert alert-info flex not-prose">Watch a video course Learn object oriented PHP
</div>
Alternatively you can assign the PHP variable to a data-* attribute and then use jQuery to access it like this:
Example of using the PHP variable to a data- attribute, and accessing via jQuery*
php
<div id="my-element" data-my-variable="<?php echo $my_variable; ?>"></div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var my_variable = $("#my-element").data("my-variable");
console.log(my_variable);
});
</script>Note: json_encode is used to avoid any issues with escaping.
