    Migrate from Codex:

    Basic Examples:

    function admin_inline_js(){ 
   echo "<script type='text/javascript'>\n";
   echo 'var pluginUrl = ' . wp_json_encode( WP_PLUGIN_URL . '/my_plugin/' ) . ';'; 
   echo "\n</script>"; 
} 
add_action( 'admin_print_scripts', 'admin_inline_js' );

    Result:
    <script type=’text/javascript’>
    var pluginUrl = “http://website.com/wp-content/plugins/my_plugin/”;
    </script>

    Note that we use wp_json_encode() to prepare the value for pluginURL before embedding it in the JavaScript code. It is important to always use wp_json_encode() when passing values from PHP to JavaScript, to avoid the possibility of XSS security vulnerabilities.
