I've looked up other examples of this question on Stack, but they either use JQUERY or load using XML etc, which is NOT what I'm using to populate my Map.
Map works perfectly fine, but marker doesn't work when I attempt to reference a PHP variable as LatLng. I've tried to echo the LatLng Variable and use Heredocs but nothing works.
<? php
// I MADE QUERIES HERE AND ADDED THEM INTO "$coords"

This is where I try an reference the PHP LatLng Marker Position, why doesn't it allow me to reference PHP?
