echo a php variable which is inside a javascript function which is inside a php [duplicate]

Question

This snippet is of jQuery code is inside the php already...How do I access variables inside the jquery code

<?php


echo'
    $( "#searchButton" ).click(function() {


    //    location.reload();
    alert(\"$folder\"); //This is causing error
    });'

?>

Try echoing the variable there instead of just printing the string name of the variable? — CertainPerformance

It shows this in the alert box <?php echo $folder;?>

I have just updated my code. Remove the "" quotation on alert

It gives this error now SyntaxError: expected expression, got '<'

is it a .php file?

Try - alert( " ' . $folder .' ");. (spaces for understanding.)

try this as echo will return a value to the alert.

alert(<?php echo $folder ?>);

The above answer will work for a .js file
