Heredoc escaping PHP variables in JavaScript

I have the following code:

<?php
    if ($zweck == "buchhaltung") {
        echo <<<EOF
        <script type="text/javascript">
            jQuery(document).ready(function() {
            jQuery("#$grid_name").jqGrid({
                url: 'modules/mod_jqgrid/ex_get3.php?tb=$tb'
                .....
        </script>
EOF;
    };
?>

... which does not seem to render properly. Can't we use PHP variables in heredoc in JavaScript code like I use it on the second last line?

On the last line I use " ' " around the PHP variable $tb. Is this syntax correct?

The following code is inside the heredoc as JavaScript code:

dataInit:function(el){
    $(el).datepicker({dateFormat:'dd.mm.yy'});
},
defaultValue: function(){

// Maybe PHP "thinks" that $(el) is a PHP variable?

var currentTime = new Date();

To get you idea:

<?php
    if ($zweck == "buchhaltung"){
?>

<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).ready(function(){
        jQuery("#<?php echo $grid_name ?>").jqGrid({
            url: 'modules/mod_jqgrid/ex_get3.php?tb=<?php echo $tb?>',...

There isn't any need to escape anything: Just separate your JavaScript code from PHP.

Use each language in its native way.

Variable expansion is performed in heredoc strings, so that's not the problem. The code you give should work fine; if it does not, maybe something else is amiss? What exactly do you mean "does not render properly"?
