Change href attribute in jquery with php

Question

$('.buttonFinish').addClass('btn btn-default');

Jquery code for the submit looks like this:

finish  : $('<a>'+options.labelFinish+'</a>').attr("href","#").addClass("buttonFinish")

I need to replace "#" in href with a variable that I can send thru my PHP code.

I tried to do this:

 finish  : $('<a>'+options.labelFinish+'</a>').attr("href","<?php echo $someVariable;?>").addClass("buttonFinish")

where $someVariable is defined in the PHP code where the form submission link will point to

That was a typo just rectified the initial query, still the same problem, my link comes up as /localhost/ — Mankomal Singh, May 20 '18 at 02:48
Please provide all the relevant script. Not at all clear how you are using this. Also the syntax `finish:` seems strange. See [mcve] — charlietfl, May 20 '18 at 02:51
By removing the comments I think I break the code or something as the buttons disappear and the form wizard goes bad, i.e. it shows all the steps in a single page with no javascript running — Mankomal Singh, May 20 '18 at 03:00
Hi Abhijit, I am new to JS can you please tell how to do this with example — Mankomal Singh, May 21 '18 at 01:45

You can define a variable in php and call it in JS. For example...

PHP

$someVariable = <?php echo $something ?>

JS

finish  : $('<a>'+options.labelFinish+'</a>').attr("href", $someVariable).addClass("buttonFinish")

Hey, thanks for the suggestion, the problem is this is breaking the code. This is what the link should look like http://www.mankomal.com/school/form_wizards.html and this is what it looks like after this http://www.mankomal.com/school/addstudent_tpl.html – Mankomal Singh May 20 '18 at 04:49

Your answer is very similar to the other existing answer. Please clarify the context. Readers might confuse where to put which line, ie a file interpreted by PHP. I suggest adding an example file name and a wrapping – Gogowitsch May 14 '20 at 18:42
