Share var between PHP and Javascript
- Thread starter touregg

php is processed first on the server side, then js on the client side, so you can do something like
<script type="text/javascript">
var myPhpVar = "<?php echo "hello from php"; ?>";
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
var myPhpVar = "<?php echo "hello from php"; ?>";
</script>

this is typically done using forms. a form submits its contents to the script definedy by its action attribute, like so:
<form action="myPage.php">
<input name="foo" value="bar"/>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>
you would then use php server-side to deal with the form's contents. i suggest you google for some php form tutorials.

Using Javascript i could in esence have javascript load a new page with php code to enter the info into the database then close, keeping the orginal page open? Also if i had javascript open this new page with the example above will the new page have a php var named $foo?
