RE: [PHP] How do I use a Javascript variable in PHP?

You cann't from php but you can from javascript. For exemple: ------------ file ------------------------------------------------- <script language="JavaScript"> Function insert_value(){ Document.form_name.text_box_name.value = javascript_value; } </script> <form method="post" name="form_name"> <input name="text_box_name" value=""> <input type="button" name="INSERT" value="INSERT" onClick="insert_value()"> </form> ------------------------------------------------------------------- Now: when you click on button insert - then the javascript value insert value into textbox. If you open a window with a calendar and choose a value the syntax of function will be: "Window.opener.form_name.text_box_name.value = your_value; " and close windows with "Window.close();" I hope this help you Kale. -----Original Message----- From: Tom [mailto:tom.callaghan@claimnet.co.uk] Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 4:09 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] How do I use a Javascript variable in PHP? Hi all, I hope this is the right place to pose my question, so here goes: - I have a javascript function called calcMonth() and given a number it will return a date i.e. month = calcMonth( 57 ) - month will be 'sept 2002' The problem Im having is at the beginning of my PHP file Im calling this calcMonth() then doing a load of php stuff and then trying to use the javascript month variable, but to no avail: - print "<td><input type=text class=claimreadonly readonly name=POST_monthdisp value=javascript:month; size=10 tabindex=99></td>"; The result is, the browser displays the words 'javascript:month;' - not a month number I`ve looked everywhere for an answer from persistent javascript data to using framesets to hold the variable but to no avail. I know its quite a bit of javascript, but its mixed in with PHP too so I thought it`d be the right place. Anyways, I hope someone can provide the answer to my problem.
