Finally I got the answer.Here I am sharing that answer;

Code:
<?php
function check(){
{header('Content-type: application/x-javascript');
?>
        function execute() {
        showName(<?php echo 'ajithperuva';?>);
        }
        execute();
    <?php
    }

This script will invoke an external javascript function showName(). Thanks for all help me in my trouble.
