How can PHP variables lose their initial value when used in JavaScript code, and what steps can be taken to prevent this issue?
When PHP variables are used in JavaScript code, they can lose their initial value due to the asynchronous nature of JavaScript. To prevent this issue, you can pass the PHP variables to JavaScript using AJAX or inline PHP within JavaScript code.
<?php
// Define PHP variable
$php_variable = "Hello, World!";
?>
<script>
// Pass PHP variable to JavaScript using inline PHP
var js_variable = '<?php echo $php_variable; ?>';
console.log(js_variable);
</script>
