如何将写入文本格式的信息翻译成javascript？

Question

This is my attempt at my question

I have a search box (HTML):

<form method="post">
    Search:<input type="text" name="search">
    <input value="Search" type="submit">
</form>

I then have php:

$search =  $_POST["search"];

And then Jquery:

$(function() {
    var foundin = $('li:contains("    /* I want this part to be the bit entered by the form... $search */   ")').css( "color", "red" );
});

But I can't seem to get the php into jQuery.

Answer 1

var my_php_var = <?php echo json_encode($search) ?>

Answer 2

$(function(){
    var foundin = $('li:contains("<?php echo $search; ?>").css("color", "red");

Answer 3

Try changing it to :

$(function() {
    var foundin = $('li:contains(" <?php echo $search ?> ")').css( "color", "red" );
});
