You regularly don't use PHP within your JavaScript files. Javascript is a client-side language which is interpreterred in your web browser. PHP is run on the web server.

However, if you need to pass data from your PHP-code to your javascript document, you can do something like:

$js = "";
print $js;

If you do this in your -part of your HTML-document, you will have access to myObject in other JS files you load after that.

$your_data can be an array or any kind of object, string or integer. Look for PHP JSON around the interwebs.
