Sorry for what seems to be such a basic question but this small little detail is alluding me. What is the best way to pass a php variable to jquery without setting the value within the DOM structure? Is there another way besides setting a variable so that jquery can use the variable?<br />
<br />
An example would be the value of a mysql database count i.e. 5 animals, 2 vegetables, and 1 rock. &nbsp;&lt;div id=&quot;animalCount&quot;&gt;&lt;?php echo $theAnimalCount;?&gt;&lt;/div&gt; <br />
<br />
Thanks!

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.

JScript is Microsoft's dialect of the ECMAScript standard that is used in Microsoft's Internet Explorer. JScript is implemented as an Active Scripting engine, so it can be "plugged in" to OLE Automation applications that support Active Scripting, such as Internet Explorer, Active Server Pages, and Windows Script Host. It also means such applications can use multiple Active Scripting languages, e.g., JScript, VBScript or PerlScript.
