passing javascript var to php function

[Tswitz00]

I have a php file which gets a database connection and does whatever with the info, and works fine. Well I have a form on another page that I want to be able to pass a value in javascript to the php file to test that value against the database and return the result back to my other file. Everything I have read is you have to do a post or a get to pass the info but when I am getting the info from the form its an onblur and i dont want to submit all the info I just want to take that one value from that one text field and check it against the database. ANy suggestions?
