I have this code:

[removed]
        stLight.options({
                st_url:'http://www.site.com/index.php/news/article/{url_title}'
        });

{url_title} is not being rendered and I figure it is because it is inside js { brackets.

What would be the PHP solution to fix this?

Thanks
Ryan

Maybe escape the brackets like this:

stLight.options({
         st_url:'http://www.site.com/index.php/news/article/\{url_title\}'
});

But that probably will not work since EE renders before Javascript…
Maybe just output it through PHP?

<?php
echo "stLight.options({ st_url:'http://www.site.com/index.php/news/article/" . "{url_title}" . "'});"
?>

Thanks for the assist, RocketMedia.

Ryan, does that help?

I responded earlier but it didn’t get posted.

Yes the php solution did the trick. thanks.

Ryan, also make sure you keep your Debug Preference is set to 1: PHP/SQL error messages shown only to Super Admins. Note the blue tip in the docs:

Furthermore, for those utilizing Javascript that may resemble EE code, including curly brackets, this setting must be 1 in order for the Javascript to function, or ExpressionEngine will hide Javascript output believing it to be an error.

Glad you have a solution!
