Your example will earn you a { missing ; before statement } error from the
JS interpreter... Though it will work if you add quotes:
<?php $phpError = "This is a test"; ?>
<script language="javascript">
var errorMsg = '<?php echo addslashes($phpError) ?>';
alert('error found: ' + errorMsg);
</script>
Also I removed the $ prefixing the JS vars... It's not necessary :)

PS Thinking on it why not just:
<script language="javascript">
alert('error found: <?php echo addslashes($phpError) ?>');
</script>

Yes, alert() as in the javascript:
<script language="javascript">
var $errorMsg = <?php echo addslashes($phpError) ?>;
alert('error found: ' + $errorMsg);
</script>
