jquery php unexpected token in wordpress theme

unexpected token '<'

testing it on a blank html page works, moving it to a wordpress theme fails.

the getimg.php returns the array correctly

$('body').backfade([<?php include'../inc/getimg.php' echo '"'.implode('", "', $image_files).'"' ?>]);

Don't inject data into JavaScript this way. Use json_encode().

var image_files = <?php echo json_encode($image_files) ?>; // Outputs ['file1', 'file2', etc.]
$('body').backfade(image_files);

Without it, you are missing the escaping needed to interpret your data correctly, and opening up yourself to potential security issues.
