javascript variables and php

[sauser]

how can i use javascript variable in a php4 script?

No.

PHP runs on the server. JavaScript runs on the client.

It is possible to pass data back and forth.

or you can document.location (or whatever) = &quot;page.html?stuff1=<?$stuff1?>&stuff2=<?$stuff2?>&quot; *muahah*

My codes look like something a kid wrote
I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about
Somehow I still manage to make it work

Just to get the terms clear:

JavaScript variables is probably the wrong term - unless you really mean javascript calculated values.

To transfer these values to a PHP page some kind transport via the HTTP protocol is needed, such as a form, or GET parameters on the URL string. POST (with forms) is preferable. The values have to be set to a form field so they will be available in PHP.

Cookies are ok, but what if the visitor has cookies turned off?
