  • Thanks for excellent explanation. But beside GET, POST, is there any other way to pass js values to PHP? Asking so because I am trying a pull some data returned by API "example.com/jsapi". Currently, data is displayed on website using <div id="panel"></div> in html and document.getElementById("panel") in js. I want to get text inside "panel" into PHP variables then inserted into MySQL. Any advice or reference to relevant docs. Commented May 23, 2011 at 10:13

    @Steve No. PHP is server-side, JS is client-side. The way these two communicate is HTTP, i.e. GET/POST. Commented May 23, 2011 at 10:15
  • you said "However, because you're not doing anything with the response, you aren't seeing the effects of this second request." Can you provide the code to see effects of this second request? Commented May 23, 2011 at 15:49
  • Use a callback function. I'd read a good tutorial on jQuery and AJAX before you go any further, rather than relying on copy-and-paste code. Have a look at jqfundamentals. Commented May 23, 2011 at 18:17
