javascript variable

[thelad]

I wish to make a php variable equal a javascript variable in a web page.

ie in a drop down box, I wish the chosen option to be copied into $chosen.

here is my javascript code for the chosen option.

option=document.first.Cabs.options[document.first.Cabs.selectedIndex].text;

thanks anyone.

i dont know how to help you but remember that you can use PHP to write the javascript there for putting variables where you want them in the javascript.

Well, what you want to do is impossible the way you want it. But there is one trick.
Once you've got you Javascript variable, you may create invisible form with input which has name of your PHP-variable. This form should be submitted automatically.
So, if you have JS variable called js_var and PHP-variable called php_var, you will neeed:

<FORM ACTION="php_script.php3" METHOD="POST" NAME="frm">
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="php_var" VALUE="">
</FORM>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
document.frm.php_var.value=js_var;
document.frm.submit();
</SCRIPT>

Like this, I suppose. I would have done it this way.

note : if you use $http_referer it will not work, because the page was execute twice, and the referer became the page it self 🙂

anybody know how to fix this ?
