Javascript variable to php?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hi,

I am using some javascript on a php page to select colours so I can use my page to write a stylesheet. I have it working to the point that I can display the stylesheet text on the page. But I want to either write it to a file, or store it in a mysql database. Does anyone know how I can take the variable from javascript so I can use it with some php code on the same page?

Thanks in advance.

@PittimannJun 14.2004 — Hi!

When your page "arrives" in the user's machine, all PHP has already been executed. So without sending the js data back to the server for storage you can't use your js variables.

You could have the user submit a form with the desired data, then process the form data server side and redirect to the page again, this time using the modified data.

Cheers - Pit
