how can I pass a php varialbe with an onClick= event handler?

    I'm not too familiar with Javascript - if you used onClick to redirect to another page with a $_GET variable, would that solve your problem? You might need to look into a more in-depth solution, maybe an AJAX function of some kind?

      I do not use Javacscript.
      ... use PHP as much as possible.

      Then if you really want expert answers on JAVASCRIPT
      there are plenty of websites with
      - AJAX javascripts
      - Javascripts
      - Java

      Just because you go to Java website for talk java with those EXPERTS
      does not mean you can not be here
      Talking PHP.
      🙂

      I mean, if I want to talk religion or philosophy,
      there are other websites I go to discuss.
      I would not 1st thing ask here, at http://phpbuilder.com for such questions.

      It would not be smart, would it?
      Not if I want to give myself best chances of getting best answers/solutions.

        If you just want to use a php var in javascript without going to another page you can build a javascript function with php

        <html>
<head>
  <title></title>
<?php
  $php_var = "reddrum is ugly";
  print"<script language='javascript' type='text/javascript'>";
     print"function php_to_js(){";
        print"var js_var = '$php_var';";
        print"alert(js_var);";
     print"}";
  print"</script>";
?>
</head>

<body>
      <input type="button" onclick="javascript:php_to_js()" value="Click Me" />
</body>

</html>

        Also I have a script from Webmonkey to parse get with javascript, I have never tryed it though. Using the two methods could pass a php var with javascript to anouther page.

        <script language="JavaScript">
