since php runs on the server, not on the client, you have to pass the value of data back to the server. Normally, this is done via a GET or a POST from a form or by building a URL and using javascript to load it. (i.e. document.location = 'http://myserver.com/mypage.php?data=Hello%20World';)
Then your PHP script can execute and see the value of $_GET['data'] HTH, Cal * * Cal Evans * Journeyman Programmer * Techno-Mage * http://www.calevans.com * -----Original Message----- From: Steve Buehler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 10:30 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] javascript and PHP Does anybody know of a good/short tutorial about passing variables from JavaScript to/from PHP? For example, how to do the following: <html> <head> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> data = "hello world"; </script> </head> <body> <? echo "$data<br>"; ?> </body> </html> The above might at least give me a clue. Just a note. I really know nothing to speak of about JavaScript. Thanks in Advance Steve -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
