Jeffrey Lake, Mohammed Ismail,

I came accross this problem recently, and I'm pretty sure there is a 
proper answer out there somewhere.  While you waiting, this may 
interest you:

<?php
 ...[somehow your php generates a $php_variable here]
 print "

   <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=Javascript>
      var javascript_variable = $php_variable;
 ";
...
?>
 ...[rest of Javascript stuff as normal]
</SCRIPT>

Yes, I've actually printed the Javascript code as if it were HTML, and 
yes it does actually run exactly as if you had hardcoded the variable 
into the Javascript.
