This code actually worked for me.

I think the problem might be that you have to define a variable before trying to use it in javascript. I put some PHP between the head and body tags, then called the alert from within the body.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<?
$text = "This is a string!";
?>
<body>
<script language="Javascript">
alert ("<? echo $text; ?>")
</script>
</body>
</html>
