PHP Session Variable not being passed to JS variable

Question

I'm trying to save a PHP Session variable called user_login in a JS variable called name. I need to get the value from the session variable. Nothing worked so far and all I am getting passed to my alert is:

<?php echo rawurlencode($_SESSION['user_login']); ?>

 $(document).ready(function() { var name = decodeURIComponent("<?php echo rawurlencode($_SESSION['user_login']); ?>"); alert(name); setTimeout(function() { if (name.length > 0) { $('h3.name').html(name); $('h3.name').css({ display: 'block' }); } }, 200); }); 

Answer 1

Seems the php code isn`t evaluated.

Check if the php works for this file.

The source of the page being served by the web server should look like this:

    **decodeURIComponent("some value");**
