Answer 1

you can assign a php variable to a javascript variable using the following method.

var address =<?php echo json_encode($zip) ?>;

on the other hand if you want to assign a php array to a javascript variable than:

var overallcontent = <?php echo json_encode($type); ?>;

where $type is a php array.

Answer 2

var address = "<?php echo $zip ?>";

Answer 3

Simply echo it and store it in a JavaScript variable. Here's how:

var address = "<?php echo $zipCode' ?>";
