You can't do it like you want. PHP is executed on the server, before
the page loads. Javascript is executed on the client, after the page
loads. By the time your javascript starts executing, all of your PHP
code has been executed.
Two ways to go about this - either write all the data to the page as
javascript code (i.e a javascript array), or use AJAX to call PHP back
on the server.
