i think you can't use a php variable in a html file...
If you want send some value from php file to html file, then put it in hidden variable at php file , and send it to html file..

Add .htaccess file to your directory

Inside the .htaccess file input :

Help with Code Tags

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html .php .htm

This should allow you to use php in your .html files

If you're using JavaScript to call a PHP file, then it sounds like AJAX. In which case you would have to use the DOM to display the result of the PHP script. Please show us the script you're using.

Thanks.
window.location.href = "loginCheck.php?idValue=" + idValue;
I use this code to pass a single value, how can i pass more than one value?

you can pass more than one value by the following way,
window.location.href = "loginCheck.php?idValue=" + idValue+"&idvalue1="+idvalue1;
