I placed a javascript inside a .php file

$script = "<script type='text/javascript'>
        jQuery( document ).ready( function($) {         
            $(document).ready(function() {
              $('#particles').particleground({
                dotColor: '<?=json_encode($dotcolor)?>',
                lineColor: '#5cb9bd',                   
              });
            });
        }
     );
    </script>";

and tried to use <?=json_encode($dotcolor)?> to echo a variable. But it isn't working.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

This should work:

<?php $script = "<script type='text/javascript'>
        jQuery( document ).ready( function($) {         
            $(document).ready(function() {
              $('#particles').particleground({
                dotColor: " . json_encode($dotcolor) . ",
                lineColor: '#5cb9bd',                   
              });
            });
        }
     );
    </script>";
    ?>

Note: Its a better practice to enqueue Javascripts with wp_enqueue_script() and include dynamic strings via wp_localize_script().
