How can I pass the PHP variable to JavaScript?

Question

I am new to PHP. I want to pass the php variable into my javascript file. But it was not converted. I already defined the value of $val in php file. I write following code in my index.js file;

var val = "<?php echo $val ?>";
console.log(val);

but my console shows output as : <?php echo $val ?>. It is not taking the php variable value. Any help?

@Tekson Where does that tutorial say that you can put the PHP code in a .js file? It says you're supposed to put it in the JavaScript segment of a PHP script. — Barmar

Ok I got that thank you. I insert It into js file. But actually I have to insert above expression in php file using <script> tag. That solved my issue. — Tek Kshetri

you have to include script at bottom of your page PHP FILE

  <script>
   var val = "<?php echo $val ?>";
   console.log(val);
  </script>

Actually, I write the code on the js file directly. I connect both php file and js file in same html file.

As above suggestion, I put my code into php file using <script> tag. This solve my issue. My mistake was I doen't put my code into js file. js can't run php file. Thank you!
