Javascript and PHP

How to pass document.URL (javascript) parameter to PHP code ?

[ManWithNoName]

The two most usual ways (really? they are?) are these:

1) Use a form, through the "value" attribute (input/select/checkbox/hidden etc.).

2) Use XhttpRequest ("AJAX") to send variables to PHP.

[ManWithNoName]

In both cases you will need a form in your HTML code.

An example, utilizing the "hidden input" to send the variable.

<form name="MyGang">
  <input name="secret_society" type="hidden" value="empty" />
</form>

You would basically need to define the value of that form:

var x = document.URL;

document.MyGang.secret_society.value = x;

Then use post/get in PHP to get the variable, e.g.:
$_GET['secret_society']

The "alternative" (using XhttpRequest) is basically the same; the difference being that the variable is sent to PHP instantly instead of waiting to press the "submit" button.
