PHP / Javascript problem

[johncal]

Hello All,
Thanks for reading this...

Quick question.
I need to store the selected value of a
dynamically-created listbox (values received from mysql db).
I have gotten the value okay (I can send it to a messagebox with the jscript)
however my php script does not see the value at all.
Please try and let me know what I am doing incorrectly.
Thanks, and below is the code:

the javascript
	<script language="JavaScript">
		function update_price_model(item) {

		var price_model = item.options[item.selectedIndex].text;
		var $php_price_model = price_model;
		alert($php_price_model); 
	}
	</script>
I have tried many ways, but this is how
I thought I should be able to reference the value
<?php  print "test:" .$php_price_model ;?>

im not quite sure what is going on there, but php runs server side and js runs in the clients browser. by the time all the html and js code is loaded, php is long finished executing. in short, javascript and php cant work together. you can use php variables in outputting js code, but you can run js code and expect it to change the js without reloading the page.
