how to call a php variable within a javascript colorbox

i have a problem with javascript. i´d like to use colorbox to display some responsemessages. is there anyone who knows how to refer to a php script variable within a javascript?

to bring an example

<?php if(isset($msg)):?>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$.colorbox({iframe:true, href:"<?php print variable $message from this site", scrolling:false, innerWidth:"408px", innerHeight:"292px", opacity:0.75, overlayClose:false, escKey:false, });
});
$("#colorboxCloseBtn").click(function() {
$.colorbox.close();
});
</script>
<?php endif; ?>

i´m not sure if i do understand the usage of iframe, inline, html. if i use iframe this will open a complete idependent site without any relation to the mainpage, isn´t it? inline i use, when i would like to relate on content which is on the mainpage, like i like to, right? and html... don´t know.

thanks for help.

no, this is barking up the wrong tree the way you're doing this, you need to put message into a session then have href get the full url of the new file then have that file echo nothing but $message:

//EG:your.php
<?PHP       
   session_start();
   $_SESSION['message'] = $message;
   if(isset($msg)) {
     ?>        
     <script type="text/javascript"> 
       $(document).ready(function(){
            $.colorbox({iframe:true, href:"message_get.php", scrolling:false, innerWidth:"408px", innerHeight:"292px", opacity:0.75, overlayClose:false, escKey:false });
            $("#colorboxCloseBtn").click(function() {
                $.colorbox.close();
            });
        });
     </script>
   <?php 
   } 
 ?>

then a whole new document

//EG: message_get.php
<?PHP       
   session_start();
   echo $_SESSION['message'];
?>

to be honest i'd get rid of the iframe you probably don't need it because this is a very ineligant way of doing this. You look to me like you've learnt ASP.NET first

           $("#colorboxCloseBtn").click(function() {
               $.colorbox.close();
           });
       });
    </script>
<?php endif; ?>

using <?php echo $message ?> will be what you are after

I have moved the click method inside the ready() function too - this ensures the DOM element is ready before attaching the click handler.

I have also removed the last comma from escKey:false in the colorbox function call
