javacript / PHP

[scuba]

Hi, I have a javascript to obtain the clients date such as:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript1.1'>
<!--
document.write (\"<FONT SIZE='1' COLOR='white' FACE='verdana'>\");
var WhichMonth = new Array(' January ',' February ',' March ',' April ',' May ',' June ',' July ',' August ',' September ',' October ',' November ',' December ');
var WhichDay = new Array(' Sunday',' Monday',' Tuesday',' Wednesday',' Thursday',' Friday',' Saturday');
today = new Date();
hrs = today.getHours();
min = today.getMinutes();
sec = today.getSeconds();
clockhrs = ''+((hrs>12)?hrs-12:hrs);
clockmin=((min<10)?'0':'')+min;
clocksec = ((sec<10)?'0':'')+sec;
AMorPM = (hrs>=12)?'PM':'AM';
document.write(WhichDay[today.getDay()]+','+WhichMonth[today.getMonth()]+''+today.getDate());
//-->
</SCRIPT>

now what I want to do is save the result into a php variable in order to implement in into my database. Can anyone help here?

Thanks,
Steve

Javascript is a client-side script. PHP runs on server. So, you can pass anything from client to server (i.e. from JavaScript to PHP) in 2 ways: 1. via URL, 2. via form (with hidden fields, for example).
In your case - why don't you want to calculate this date, which you're calculating in javasript, in PHP? To insert PHP tag into Javascript code is not a problem - and you PHP automatically knows this value. Any way, it's less complicated than with hidden forms.

Hi Steve,

There is no need to use JavaScript, just use the inbuilt localtime() function. You'll get the same time, it is obviously much easier to put into the DB, and you don't run the risk of the user not having JavaScript enabled.
