values from script into PHP vars

[djwinder]

i have found a script with some functions which i belive are written in javascript. I want to set the values that the script outputs into php variables.

Is their anyway to get the value of a javascript variable and set a php one to match?

here is a function from the script incase you can confirm it as java:

function selectColor() {
currentlyChoosingColor=false;
gridTable.style.cursor = 'default';
integratedCaption.innerText = 'Click above to change a color';
integratedCancel.style.display = 'none';
savedBgColor = integratedSwatch.bgColor;
integratedSwatch.title = savedBgColor.toUpperCase();
savedTextColor = integratedText.style.color;
integratedText.title = savedTextColor.toUpperCase();
savedLinkColor = integratedLink.style.color;
integratedLink.title = savedLinkColor.toUpperCase();
savedVLinkColor = integratedVLink.style.color;
integratedVLink.title = savedVLinkColor.toUpperCase();
savedFloaterColor = integratedFloater.bgColor;
integratedFloater.title = savedFloaterColor.toUpperCase();
}

thanks

You'd probably have to use AJAX. This is just something I adapted...

var http_request = false;
var url = http://yourdomain.com/phphandler.php;

function makerequest(url) {
    var pars = '?';
    http_request = false;
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { // Mozilla, Safari,...
        http_request = new XMLHttpRequest();
    } else if (window.ActiveXObject) { // IE
        try {
            http_request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
        } catch (e) {
            try {
                http_request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
            } catch (e) {}
        }
    }
    if (!http_request) {
        alert('Error: Cannot create an XMLHTTP instance (AJAX)');
        return false;
    }
    http_request.onreadystatechange = doupdate;


pars += 'jssubmit&par1='+par1+'&par2='+par2;
http_request.open('GET', url+pars, true);
http_request.send(null);
}

You'd have to replace the 'par=par1&par2=par2' with the values from your JS script. Then you have a PHP script which grabs the GET variables and saves them as SESSION/COOKIE variables.
