any php, js , PEAR expects here that can help me?

ok im makin a gmap website for a uni subject
its in PEAR templates
problem i can seem to access the php variable in my js script

in test.php
i got
$address= $_POST['address']; which gets it from input in prev page

connected to dat php page is a test.tpl file where all html and js is there
i tried this and all sort of methods
var myVar = "<?php echo $address; ?>";
alert(myVar);

but all it shows it <?php echo $address; ?> in the alert box

i need that address value so i can pinpoint it on a gmap by calling a function like dat

showAddress(<?php echo $address; ?>);return false;


any ideas how to resolve it?
thx :)

So you know, the current private messaging system here does not support attachments.

Something you could do is try wrapping the code inside the code tag [code ] [/code ] (without the spaces).

Example.

Code:

Google announced today via their official blog that they have released a tool 
showing requests for data that governments have made around the world. To open the 
blog they quote article 19 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights  which states 
that "everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes 
freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart
