Passing a PHP variable to JavaScript [duplicate]

Answer 1

I reinstalled xampp and then made 1 change in c:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf in the mime section section by adding (I did it in line 402 but anywhere in that section should be ok)... AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm

NOW IT WORKS!!!!!!!! This looks like a big mistake in the current xampp distribution for Win 7 32-bit.
