------------------------------------------------



To put the cart before the horse, capturing a php variable into

javascript is accomplished by embedding the php tags inside the

javascript tags, as demonstrated in this example (saved and accessed

in a webpage as an *example.php* file):



   <?php

       $php_variable = "php_string_or_value";      //  (php variable may

also come from a URL pass, form POST, or be returned from a php

function.)

   ?>



   <script type="text/javascript">

       var javascript_variable_from_php_variable = "<?php  echo

$php_variable  ?>";

       document.write (javascript_variable_from_php_variable);

   </script>



------------------------------------------------------------------------------





As for the horse, the same strategy doesn't work in reverse, though,

since javascript tags aren't functional inside php tags (at least in

my hands).  However, there is the capacity to embed javascript tags

within a *form* and, by posting, capture a javascript variable as a

hidden php variable, as in the following example which measures a

user's screen resolution:



   <form name="javascript_variable_capture" action="processing.php"

method="post">



       <script type="text/javascript">

               var screen_width = screen.width;

               var screen_height = screen.height;

               document.write ("<input type='hidden' name='screen_width'

value='"+screen_width+"'>");

               document.write ("<input type='hidden' name='screen_height'

value='"+screen_height+"'>");

       </script>



   </form>



and, of course, the submit button:



   <input type="submit" name="submit" value="enter" >



and, then, in a *processing.php* file:



   $screen_width = $_POST['screen_width'];



   $screen_height = $_POST['screen_height'];



This method requires the user to *submit* the form entries to POST.

There are ways to *auto-submit forms* suggested on the Net (e.g. <body

onload="submitForm()">) but I have not worked out the timing to insure

the embeded javascript code is acted upon before the auto-submit

code.  Perhaps one needs to start with FORMS constructed with

Javascript -- I have seen reference of such things, but have no

experience.  Luck.

php_variable"

action="variable_capture.php" method="post">



    <script type="text/javascript">



         var javascript_variable = "javascript_string_or_value";

name='javascript_variable' value='"+javascript_variable+"'>");



    </script>



</form>





<script type="text/javascript">



    document.forms("variable_pass").submit()



</script>





Then, the information is passed to the php in the server and can be

demonstrated with the following file -- call it variable_capture.php

-- saved in the same folder as the first, with the following code:





<?php



    $php_variable_from_javascript_variable = $_POST

['javascript_variable'];



    function display_captured_js_var_into_php()

    {

         global $php_variable_from_javascript_variable;

         echo ("The JavaScript variable 'javascript_variable' passed

to the PHP ")

         echo ("variable '\$php_variable_from_javascript_variable' is

the string '");

         echo ($php_variable_from_javascript_variable);

         echo ("'.");

    };



    display_captured_js_var_into_php();



?>





==========================================================





To capture a PHP variable into JavaScript, on the other hand, simply

embed the PHP code into JavaScript tags.  As an example, call up the

webpage coded with a file -- call it php_var_to_js.php -- with the

following code:

    document.write ("The PHP variable '$php_variable' passed to the

JavaScript ") +

    document.write ("variable 'javascript_variable_from_php_variable'

is the ") +

    document.write ("string '" +

==========================================================
