yeah sure, just echo the javascript: <?php echo '<script>var myPhpVariable = "'. $my_var . '";</script>'; ?>

Remember JS is executed server side from within the HTML document, the PHP is processed before all of that, so you can always print out any JS you need to have done on the fly, as in this answer –  Ben Feb 23 '12 at 1:29

Haha yes, I have no idea why I wrote server side! –  Ben Feb 23 '12 at 11:09
 
What if i need to pass an entire array, or lets extend it, a multidimensional array... Would this approach work then? –  Nibhrit Sep 26 at 10:45

or just set in your controller your variables

eg - in the controller

$data['newvar'] = $myvar_in_the_controller;

and then in the view in the javascript

<?php echo $newvar ?>
