Uncaught SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token for new line

Question

I am trying to print the string of a PHP variable in a Javascript function.Whenever i use a new line in the string that is stored in the PHP variable, I get this error Uncaught SyntaxError while printing it out in a Javascript function.

If you want to declare a string variable across multiple lines, you could use this syntax:

var str = `line 1
  line 2
  line 3`;

Note the (`) instead of (")/(') double or single quotes. They can't be used to declare multiline string.

Essentially, you will need to write it like this:

jQuery("body").replaceWith(`<?php echo $PHPVARIABLE?>`)
