Is it possible (and if so please explain how) to echo php into javascript, specifically for my purpose I am trying to echo the input of a custom field from the wordpress platform into the description of a google map. I am hoping I can give the client a cms backend to input the text that appears in the marker points on a map. What I am trying with no success is:
var point = new GLatLng(49.295308,-123.149297);
var marker = createMarker(point,"Site Title",'<div class="maptext"><p class="prepend-top caption">Title<\/p>
<?php $the_query = new WP_Query('category_name=featured');
while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();?>
<?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'site-description', true) ) { ?>
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'site-description', $single = true); ?>
<?php } ?>
<\/div>')
map.addOverlay(marker);
ok sarfaz was right with his orignal response and I was getting a parse error which was breaking it. what finally worked was this:
var point = new GLatLng(48.134239,-122.764769);
var marker = createMarker(point,"Port Townsend Marine Science Center",'<div class="maptext"><?php $the_query = new WP_Query('post_name=test-site');
while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();?><?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'map-content', true) ) { ?><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "map-content", $single = true); ?><?php } ?><?php endwhile; ?><\/div>')
map.addOverlay(marker);
--- UPDATE ---
Just wanted to add that I found this to be the best way for me to grab posts since I always want a specific one linked to that marker :
var point = new GLatLng(48.5139,-123.150531);
var marker = createMarker(point,"Lime Kiln State Park",
'<?php $post_id = 182;
$my_post = get_post($post_id);
$title = $my_post->post_title;
echo $title;
echo $my_post->post_content;
?>')
map.addOverlay(marker);
