Re: php & javascript

As other people have stated, it can't be done "smoothly", although they told you how to move a php variable to javascript. To move a javascript to php, the only way I have found is to use javascript to set the value of a form element and submit it. Something like echo " <script language=javascript> function passvar (MyVar) { document.MyForm.elements[\"MyHidden\"].value=var; document.MyForm.submit(); } </script> "; // and then in the body of the page echo " <form method=post action=\another.php\" name=\"MyForm\"> <input type=hidden name=\"MyHidden\" value=\"\"> </form> "; // and then when you need to move the value of the javascript variable // you call echo " <input type=button value=\"Move the Variable\" onClick=\"passvar(MyVar)\"> "; // now in the receiving page $MyHidden is var This will work If And Only If The client has javascript turned on AND The client's browser supports javascript AND You can tolerate a form submit to accomplish this All in all, you should save javascript for when it's not important, or when you really need it, and then you should test for it, or warn the user that they need it.
