passing Javascript variable to PHP variable

[iandobrien]

Ok, sorry to be bothering you all again but here's the problem. I have a javascript variable and i want compare this to a PHP variable so what i want to do is store it in a PHP variable so i can do the comparisons (i really need to store it in a PHP variable rather than the other way round ie. i don't want to store the PHP variable in a javascript variable)Anyone got any bright ideas???

i've never used php, but i'm going to asume it's like asp. try this:

document.location.href = document.location.href + "?varname="+js_var_name;

sorry if i confused some people...what i meant was the following..

Say i have a PHP variable called '$string'. I then wanted to compare this to a javascript variable (say using an 'if' condition). So, for example take the javascript variable to be called 'X'. So what i want to do is compare them ie.

<?php
if($string == X)
{
.............etc etc.
}?>

This obviously doesn't work so i thought something like....

<?php
if($string ==<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = 'JavaScript'>X</SCRIPT>)
{
.............etc etc.
}?>

but that didn't work either..anyway, i'm a little confused as to some of the suggestions given above but much appreciated anyway...maybe its a little clearer now??cheers,Ian
