<?php
$num = 3;

echo"<button type='button' id='like_button' class='button' name='like_button' value='$num'>Like</button>";
?>

(you shouldn't use a submit button for this purpose really..)

$('#like_button').click(function()
{
	// here i want to get the value of $num
        // $(this).val();	
});

Hi hwoarang69

PHP executes before the page code is returned to the client, so you can simply do this:

var variableName = <?php echo $num ?>

$('#like_button').click(function()
{
   alert(variableName);
		
});
