You are suffering from the split-brain syndrome of web development.  PHP as you 
know is a server-side while Javascript is client-side application.  The left 
side of the brain needs to communicate to the right side of the brain.  For the 
PHP to see the variables they must be posted to the server either as Form-Post 
variables or hidden-form-variables.  I've done this by invoking DOM to 
instantiate client-side objects (hidden-form-variables) and then posted the 
form via a submit (Javascript called).  

If I'm off base here sorry about that but I know that I've been stung by this a 
lot in my applications.

  Subject: [nyphp-talk] Javascript & PHP


  I have put together an HTML form that uses Javascript which works well. 
However when I fill it in and fire it off to my PHP script (which for the 
purpose of testing simply echos what was entered in to the form) it cannot find 
the entered data; But when I strip out the Javascript and the fields that uses 
the javascript my PHP script happly echos back what was entered into the form. 
does anubody know what I am doing wrong??
