How to convert PHP variable value to boolean and use in jquery setting

Question

I am trying to pass values from option panel to use them on jQuery setting value everything working except true or false SO How can I convert it or use it right way.

What I am trying where $offers_animation_type = true its return true but not working as like if direct write true or false in the option value.

$("#Ticker").breakingNews({
    effect      :"slide-v",
    autoplay    :<?php echo $offers_animation_type;?>,
    timer       :<?php echo $offers_animation_change;?>,
    color       :"turquoise",
    border      :true
});

But it should be like

$("#Ticker").breakingNews({
    effect      :"slide-v",
    autoplay    :true,
    timer       :3000,
    color       :"turquoise",
    border      :true
});

you should never have PHP inside JS (and vice versa). It's a bad practice that can lead to unexpected behaviour — treyBake

In PHP printing true will result 1, but printing false will not print anything. So when the value was false, you broke the JS code. (autoplay:,)

$("#Ticker").breakingNews({
    effect      :"slide-v",
    autoplay    :<?php echo $offers_animation_type ? "true" : "false";?>,
    timer       :<?php echo $offers_animation_change;?>,
    color       :"turquoise",
    border      :true
});

you can use ternary operator in php like this

    $("#Ticker").breakingNews({
    effect      :"slide-v",
    autoplay    :<?php echo ($offers_animation_type): 'true'? 'false'; ?>,
    timer       :<?php echo ($offers_animation_change): 'true'? 'false'; ?>,
    color       :"turquoise",
    border      :true
});

 $("#Ticker").breakingNews({
   effect      :"slide-v",
   autoplay    :<?=(isset($offers_animation_type) && !empty($offers_animation_type))? 'true' : 'false'; ?>,
   timer       :<?=(isset($offers_animation_change) && !empty($offers_animation_change))? $offers_animation_change : 3000; ?>,
   color       :"turquoise",
   border      :true
 });
