PHP and Javascript

[Gian04]

I have a php code that retrieve the server date/time. Retrieved date/time will be saved to a variable.

Then I have a javascript that displays a running clock on my page.

Question: How can I pass the variable value (from PHP) to my Javascript so that the variable value will be the initial value for my javascript?

You can echo php code into a javascript directly:

<script type="text/javascript">
var startTime = '<?php echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); ?>';
alert(startTime); // for testing only
</script>
