[jQuery] Passing a PHP variable to jQuery

[Mike C]

So I'm going to be printing a list of items from a database, and with
each item there will be a link printed with it. Essentially, I want
something like <a href="link from database" id="link_1">Load</a>,
except I want the link to use ajax. So in my scripts.js file I'll have
something like $('#link_1').click( function() { $('#link_1').load
("link from database")}); I want to get the link from database from
the PHP file that contains the initial link. How would I do this?
