jQuery unterminated string literal -

i getting unterminated string literal error, understand php code in script cannot understand what..

here have:

jquery('#update-<?php echo $row->id; ?>').live('click', function (){      var myname = "<?php $_post['name_two'] ?>";     var mystep = "<?php $_post['step_two'] ?>";      jquery.ajax({         type: "post",         url: "postdata.php",         data: {name_two:myname, step_two:mystep},         success: function(data) {             alert(data);         },     }); }); 

the error on line:

var myname = "<?php $_post['name_two'] ?>"; 

thanks rick

try use echo here removing double quotes if unnecessary here:

var myname = <?php echo $_post['name_two'] ?>; var mystep = <?php echo $_post['step_two'] ?>;
