PHP lives on the web-server, JavaScript lives in the browser, and the PHP that generated your current JavaScript is long gone by the time the JavaScript runs. That said, you could do any of: document.location = "http://yourserver.com/whatever.php"; Also, almost for sure, JavaScript has some way of asking a web-server to respond to a GET or POST. Search your fave JavaScript site for functions named "GET" and "POST", and see what you get. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
