[Resolved] passing returned value from javascript to PHP

[NoBullMan]

Hi,
how can I pass the returned value from Javascript to PHP?
I have:

if ( x>y) {
  echo '<script language="JavaScript">';
  echo 'confirm(\''.$itemname.' requires '.$optionname.' Do you want to add '.$optionname.'?\')</script>';

<want to return the true/false value returned when user presses OK/Cancel>

}

Thanx

Short answer: no.

JavaScript runs entirely inside the client's (visitor's) browser application (IF they have it enabled). PHP is run entirely on the server before the visitor's browser displays it.

Long answer: sort of. :-)

With some "fancy" footwork, you can set the value of a hidden field to "true" or "false" and submit the form with formname.submit()

Hope that gives you (some) direction!
