Text from php variable into javascript function

Question

I am using a jquery calendar that looks like this:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#calendar').eCalendar({

 weekDays: ['Dim', 'Lun', 'Mar', 'Mer', 'Jeu', 'Ven', 'Sam'],
    months: ['Janvier', 'Fevrier', 'Mars', 'Avril', 'Mai', 'Juin', 'Juillet', 'Aout', 'Septembre', 'Octobre', 'Novembre', 'Decembre'],
    textArrows: {previous: '<', next: '>'},
    eventTitle: 'Evenements',
    url: '',

    events: [

   { title: 'title', description: 'description', datetime: new Date (2015,07,01)} 


    ]});
});
</script>

To get the events, I connect to a mysql database and store the result in a php variable such as:

 $event={ title: 'title', description: 'description', datetime: new Date:   (2015,07,01)};

I can't figure out how to put this $event into the jquery script so that it reads it.

I tried for exemple:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#calendar').eCalendar({
    ........
    ........
    events: [

   <?php echo $event ?>

    ]});
});

Which doesn't work. Any idea?

Thanks

if $event has the correct value, it should work. Can you post the output of your browser in the question (source code)? — AgeDeO

did you try to add quotes like this '<?php echo $event ?>'? — Umesh Sehta

It should work, IF $event IS A STRING. Otherwise, you have to stringify it. — 3pic

You have to be sure that $event is a string. I bet it is an array, please provide a vardump($event);to be sure of that.

If it is an array, try this in place of <?php echo $event; ?>;:

<?php echo serialize($event); ?>;

Perhaps the problem is an error, excess colon after new Date:

$event="{ title: 'title', description: 'description', datetime: new Date: (2015,07,01)};"
