How to pass php to jQuery???

Question

I have php query to get data from mysql. I want the results to be sent to my jQuery variable.

var x = "<select>"+ <?php echo $phpQuery; ?>+"</select>";

$("p").append(x);

Answer 1

you have to use ajax.
you should have a php code that outputs answer and a jQuery code that requests it and then you can store it in variable.
https://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_ajax_intro.asp

for example you can see it in action at YouTube like button or in any ajax website like this one is simple http://mylink.rf.gd/1 it's made by me

or you can also simply do this
<form method="post" action="path-to-php.php">
<select></select>
<button type=submit>get the menu</button>
</form>

or if you want the options to come then
add a function as onclick of select box in that function it triggers a ajax request and the output will automatically be inserted inside it.
