Append Table row to existing Table PHP, Javascript-CodePudding

I'm trying to make a Table where the user is able to see some data from a database.

To do this im using this js code to append a row for every entity:

     function append(id, name){
    $table_body = $('#tbody');
    //html of the table row
    $table_row = $('<tr  id="'   id   '"> <td></td><div > <label><input type="checkbox" name="checkbutton">checkbox</label></div><td>'   name   '</td></tr>');
    //append row
    $table_body.append($table_row);
    $('#avatartable').show();
  }

with that code I'm gettin this error: Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined

I'm pretty sure the dollar sign is needed though and I don't know what I can do now.

As far as I know, you can NOT combine PHP and JavaScript at the same time in a function (execept to write the js code with echo or something similar)! -Php is a back-end language (executed in server) -JS is a front-end language (executed in browser)

if all you want is to display data from database into a HTML table just put a php script inside the tbody, loop through your array an echo the rows something like

foreach($array as $value)
    echo '<tr><td>'.$value.'</td><td>...</td></tr>';
