how to pass php variable to javascript?

I am using following code to pass PHP variables to javascript. but it is not working.

 function gto(str) {
   document.getElementById('goto').action = str;
   document.getElementById('ID').value = <?php echo "$userid" ?>;
   document.getElementById('name').value = <?php echo "$user_name" ?>;
   document.getElementById('gname').value = <?php echo "$usergname" ?>;
   document.getElementById('fmname').value = <?php echo "$userfname" ?>;
   document.getElementById('img').value = <?php echo "$userimg" ?>;
   document.getElementById('email').value = <?php echo "$useremail" ?>;
   document.getElementById('goto').submit();
  }

Following is the PHP code

<?php
    if($_POST["name"] == null)
    {
        $user_name = 'Annomyous';   
    }
    else{
        $user_name = $_POST["name"];
        $userid=  $_POST["id"];
        $usergname=  $_POST["gname"];
        $userfname=  $_POST["fname"];
        $userimg=  $_POST["img"];
        $useremail=  $_POST["email"];
    }
    echo "<p style='color : white'>$user_name";
    echo "$userid" ;
    echo "$gname";
    echo "$fname";
    echo "$img";
    echo "$email";
    echo "$user_name";
    echo "$user_name</p>";
    $user_name =htmlspecialchars($user_name);
    $user_name =str_replace("<script>","", $user_name);
    ?>


the output is a follows:
ReAlItY TuTs104598758504708047866ReAlItY TuTsReAlItY TuTs//this is php echo output.

JAVASCRIPT OUTPUT:-

 function gto(str) {
       document .getElementById('goto').action = str;
       document.getElementById('ID').value = ;
       document.getElementById('name').value = Annomyous;
       document.getElementById('gname').value = ;
       document.getElementById('fmname').value = ;
       document.getElementById('img').value = ;
       document.getElementById('email').value = ;
       document.getElementById('goto').submit();
   }

Function gto is called here:

<button class="w3-btn header-btn" onclick="gto('Contact.php');">Contact Us</button>

I can see in PHP output I am getting all variable output. but nin juavascript im getting only Annonymous why???? I need to pass post variables to contact us so i am using the form tag and javascript but this is not working Please help me! Thanks in Advance

values from php to js can be passed in many ways, here's one of them
try to pass the php values when calling the js function, like this:-

<button onclick="gto('Contact.php','<?php echo $userid;?>','<?php echo $username;?>');">Contact Us</button>

and then get values on js function like this:-

 function gto(str,userid,username) {

   document .getElementById('goto').action = str;
   document.getElementById('ID').value = userid;
   document.getElementById('name').value =username;

 }

that's it, now use the values in js as your wish

Uh, found another issue. The js is in smart quotes, which won't work... "`" is invalid. use "'". Also, w3schools can't handle php in their editor, so it's no use. Example for POST requests: https://www.w3schools.com/code/tryit.asp?filename=FQSA8MJYGJ47

Hope this helps.
