how to assign php link to jquery?

Question

To achieve my goal as of this question How to apply a url path in after pseudo element? I want to assign a link to the menu item id.

Within php code I wrote this:

<?php
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$menu = $app->getMenu();
$item = $menu->getItem(474);
?>

and the jquery code is as you see is :

var $link = $('<a>',{
    class: 'all-news-link',
    href: <?php $item; ?> // **here how to assign the link which is assigned in php?**
});

$('#custom-module .moduletable:nth-child(2) h3').append($link);

update

As per the provided link I used json_encode but also not solved my problem. Its even not alerting now.

<?php
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$menu = $app->getMenu();
$link1 = $menu->getItem(474);
?>

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){  
var $link = $('<a>',{
    class: 'all-news-link',
    href: <?php echo json_encode( $link1 ); ?>
});
$('#custom-module .moduletable:nth-child(2) h3').append($link);
alert("hi"); // it is not alerting
});

</script>

when href: 'http://www.google.com/' used its alerting "hi" but when I use php json_encode() its even not alerting means jquery is invalid

The link should be a string.

$item = $menu->getItem(474);

returns a stdClass.

You should get the route:

$id = 474;
$link = JRoute::_($menu->getItem($id)->link);

Try this:

$(function(){  
    var $link = $('<a>',{
        class: 'all-news-link',
        href: <?php echo json_encode( $link ); ?>
    });
    $('#custom-module .moduletable:nth-child(2) h3').append($link);
});

This sets href to be a valid Javascript string.

It's saying parse error. – Navin Rauniyar Sep 08 '13 at 11:08
Do you actually have a menu item with that id? please post the output of `var_dump($menu->getItem(474));`. – MasterAM Sep 08 '13 at 11:16
Yes I've the menu with that id. – Navin Rauniyar Sep 08 '13 at 11:23
I accidentally wrote `$JRoute` where it should've been `JRoute`. If you have a menu with this id it should be fine now. – MasterAM Sep 08 '13 at 11:25
Yeah you are right. 1 more question >> How could I assign option=com_content&view=featured&Itemid=474 to the link I want to link to module. – Navin Rauniyar Sep 08 '13 at 11:36
