ok so im trying to get a javascript variable into a php script, this would be an example,
<script type="text/javascript">
x = new Date()
</script>
<?php
$x = $_GET["x"];
?>
<p><?php echo $x ?></p>
i just cant get it to work! I need help please?
EDIT: well im just trying to get the hash from a url via javascript then put that in a php script.
PHP and javascript don't work like that.
PHP is a server-side language. While javascript is a clientside language.
There are still ways of passing data from the client-window to your server, via ajax, query parameters, cookies... But none will work in the same page.
Give us a clearer image on what you are trying to achieve and we will gladly help.
UPDATE
JS
<script type="text/javascript">
document.cookie = 'name=Khez' ;
</script>
PHP
<?php
var_dump($_COOKIE['name']);
?>
document.cookie= 'date='+(new Date()).getTime(); and in PHP you'd do $x=date($_COOKIE['date']);So there are 2 pages page1.php and page2.php
page2.php needs to pass JS variables to page1.php
We can do this by passing it as url variables from page2.php and get it in page1.php using $_GET[].
page2.php (send JS variable)
<script type=text/javascript>
var lati = location.lat();
var longi = location.lng();
document.location = 'http://www.rajak.me/index.php?addlat='+lati+'&addlong='+longi;
});
</script>
page1.php (receive JS variable)
<?php
$addlat = $_GET['addlat'];
$addlong = $_GET['addlong'];
?>
You could use the following Javascript which will link to somepage.php with the variable in the Url
<script type="text/javascript">
x = new Date()
window.location.href = "somepage.php?w1=" + x;
</script>
This is the contents of somepage.php which recieves the variable and echoes it
<?php
if (isset($_GET["w1"])) {
$x = $_GET["w1"];
echo $x;
}else{
echo 'no variable received';
}
?>
PHP is "Server Side" code and javascript is client side code. They don't interact...
PHP is server-side~ all parsing is done on the server. JavaScript is client-side~ everything happens AFTER it get's to the client. If you need date in PHP, I recommend time() and or date()
