mixing up php and JS

Hi folks!
I was wondering wether it´s possible to use variables declared under php eg $name under JS, and if that is so, how ?

Use the following:

<?
$somevar = somevalue;
echo "<SCRIPT>";
echo "<!--";
echo "var somevar = $somevar;";
echo "//-->";
echo "</SCRIPT>"
?>
etc.

Good luck,
Bas
