And still use htmlentities if I am passing a string?

Cliff:

To use a PHP variable in javascript, you create a javascript variable
and then echo the value of the php variable. 

For example:

<?php
	$number = 100;
?>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
	var number = <?php echo $number; ?>;
</script>
