Hi I have a dropdown menu that i want to have it dropde down when you select a link in the menu. Therefor i want to set my variable $menus == "opened" cause if the $menus is set to "opened" the menu will dropdown. I tried this <a href="xxx.php" onclick="<?php $menus == "opened"?>">xxx</a> But i cant get the value stored for when the browser opens xxx.php and i <?php echo" .$menus. "?> its says "closed". Can anyone help with this?

I honestly don't understand what you are trying to do, but in order to populate the variable, it needs to look like...

<a href="xxx.php" onclick="<?php $menus = "opened";?>">xxx</a>

instead of...

<a href="xxx.php" onclick="<?php $menus == "opened"?>">xxx</a>

Have you tried

<a href="xxx.php?menus=opened">xxx</a>

Impossible.

onClick is a client-side event. Meaning that it only happens in the computer of the person viewing the page.
PHP has no clue what it is, since PHP works on the server, where the pages come from.
With onClick, u have to use Javascript and POST of GET to pass variables to PHP.

sorry for my bad english but I didn't have the time, anyway I solved the problem using a simple "?" after the adress and set the value of variabel. Thanks for your time!
