PHP code

<?php
var $stats=5;
?>

jQuery code

var $results=<?php echo json_encode($stats);?>;

I would like to import PHP variable values into jQuery file. I wrote the following code, but I keep getting the following error in my console:
expected expression, got '<'

I have tried to edit the httpd-conf file to enable interactions between PHP and JS as some suggestions online have stated, but I am still getting the same error.

The keyword var is not used in that context, you should remove it.

Is your jQuery output from a .php file, after the php variable is defined?

(If your variable really is the number 5 then you do not need to json-encode it.)

looks like your file isn’t run through the PHP interpreter.

So you're saying that my jQuery output must be used with a web page published in .php format instead of .html, correct?

It was formatted in HTML as opposed to PHP.

My webpage is written in HTML. I will re-format the page as a PHP file. Am I now on the right track?

there’s not enough information to say definitely, but it looks right.
