not able to get the php variable in javascript

Question

In my php script I have variable like below.

$duration = 60;

Now I'm accessing the above PHP variable in javascirpt.

<script type="text/javascript">
    var phpVar = '<?php echo $duration; ?>';
    console.log(phpVar );
 </script>

But in the console I'm getting the whole data instead of 60. That is, output is

 '<?php echo $duration; ?>'

Please help me how to access the php variable properly.

Thanks.

Whatever file you put this in, did not get parsed as PHP. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23574306/executing-php-code-inside-a-js-file — 04FS, May 10 '19 at 09:00
It's working with single quotes, double quotes and without quotes, there is no issue with the code, make sure you file as .php — Rakesh Jakhar, May 10 '19 at 09:01
you shouldn't mix PHP + JS like this - they get executed differently. Much better to use AJAX and get the value from a script, assign it to a var that way. — treyBake, May 10 '19 at 09:01
You're setting `$duration` but echoing `$simple`. However the PHP output suggests you've saved the file as `*.html` instead of `*.php` — , May 10 '19 at 09:02

<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function(){
  var phpVar = <?php echo $duration; ?>;
  console.log(phpVar);
});

Put $duration instead if $simple.

eidited the question with $duration. But it is not evaluating the php statement. It is considering as normal string. – user2636874 May 10 '19 at 09:22
