Re: passing variables from javascript to php

I don't know if this got ignored as off topic. Anyway, to answer the question, how to pass javascript variables to php, I found this code fragment: <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- abc=window.prompt("Please enter a word."); <? if (!$abc) echo "document.location = \"$PHP_SELF?abc=\" + abc;"; ?> // --> </script> "m.lawrie" wrote: > > <SCRIPT LANGUAGE='javascript'><!-- > > var array = parent.main.location.pathname; > endarray = array.split('/'); > popped = endarray.pop(); > splitted = popped.split('.'); > linkname = splitted.shift(); > document.write(linkname); > > //--></SCRIPT> > > <?php > include("dblink.inc"); > > $query = "select * from glck_zahl where game='linkname'"; etc... > ?> > > These two fragments are from the same file, respectively.
