Title: Variables available in after [insert_php] Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Variables available in after [insert_php] * Resolved [Jeff Stevens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsrestaurantlink/) * (@jsrestaurantlink) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/variables-available-in-after-insert_php/) * When I use [insert_php] and populate a variable, is it available outside of the[ insert_php] block? Like in my ``` * only produces Hello * It should produce Hello Hello * Correct? * Am I missing something? * Thanks! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-php/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-php/) Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * [WillBontrager](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willbontrager/) * (@willbontrager) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/variables-available-in-after-insert_php/#post-7238335) * Sorry, no variable created in an [insert_php] block is available outside that block.

"\n"; echo ''; [/insert_php] ``` * Will * Thread Starter [Jeff Stevens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsrestaurantlink/) * (@jsrestaurantlink) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/variables-available-in-after-insert_php/#post-7238342) * Thanks for the reply – that’s kind of what I thought also – and had tried something like that before. Here is some more code and I still just get one “Hello” – and we should get two – right? * ``` ... $testVar = "Hello"; echo $testVar . "\n"; echo ''; echo "PHP Code out..."; [/insert_php] ``` * [WillBontrager](https://wordpress.org/support/users/willbontrager/) * (@willbontrager) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/variables-available-in-after-insert_php/#post-7238349) * Ah the PHP variable needs to be quoted so JavaScript treats it as a string. * ``` echo "document.write('$testVar');"; ``` * Your JavaScript console should have told you about the error. * Will * Thread Starter [Jeff Stevens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsrestaurantlink/) * (@jsrestaurantlink) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/variables-available-in-after-insert_php/#post-7238351) * Ah – you’re correct. Thanks so much. I’ll check my console more often also. * Thanks Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) The topic ‘Variables available in after [insert_php]’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/insert-php/assets/icon-256x256.gif?rev=3475630) * [Woody Code Snippets – Insert PHP, CSS, JS, and Header/Footer Scripts](https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-php/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-php/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/insert-php/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/insert-php/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/insert-php/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/insert-php/reviews/) ## Tags * [javascript](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/javascript/) * [script](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/script/) * [variable](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/variable/) * 4 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Jeff Stevens](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsrestaurantlink/) * Last activity: [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/variables-available-in-after-insert_php/#post-7238351) * Status: resolved
