Yes, is that simple, but if it doesn't work for you (because of the short
tag <?= ) use the 'echo' or 'print' commands:
    [... php code ... ]
    ?>
    <script language = "JavaScript">
    var mywin = '<?php echo $php_name; ?>';

    win(mywin);

    </script>
    <?php
    [... more code ... ]

- Good luck
