print html using php variable and javascript

Question

I have my html in a php variable say $html and I want to print this html using javascript. I have written following code for this.

<script>var mywindow = window.open('', 'my div', 'height=400,width=600');
    mywindow.document.write(<?= $html ?>);
    mywindow.print();</script>

It works for me if variable contains normal string not HTML

There is no error in your code. I personally ran it now and it works. — Jay Ghosh

Try to use quotes in write function like,

mywindow.document.write("<?= $html ?>");

all the code is within php file and it is like mywindow.document.write($html);

If the html is on another page then you can set $_SESSION['html'] and then after printing you can unset it.

You need comas:

mywindow.document.write('<?= $html ?>');
