How to pass Jvascript Variables to PHP

[Lazer]

Hi Every one.
I finally figured a way to pass JavaScript variables to PHP.
I takes 3 files.
1. Setup file a PHP or HTML
<script language="javascript">
var1= 9;
var2= 19;
var3= 'time';
</script>
<!-- now we are calling the sender script -->
<script language="javascript" src="sendpar.js"></script>

2. the "translation" file is a JavaScript FORM

document.write('<form name="sendme" action="showpar.php" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="par1" ><input type="hidden" name="par2" ><input type="hidden" name="par3" >');
sendme.par1.value = var1;
sendme.par2.value = var2;
sendme.par3.value = var3;
document.write('</form>');
document.sendme.submit() ;

3. is the PHP "receiver file"
just a simple file to show you all values:

<?php
foreach($_POST as $key => $dat) {
echo $key .'='. $dat ."\r\n";
}
?>

That is ALL.

Good Luck!

You could also sent the post request via AJAX without using the form or any other intermediate steps.

Um, no offense, but that is probably the worst way to accomplish the task.

If you're going to be negative about someone's efforts please give the reasons and if you can, suggest a better solution.

Mindzai's suggestion is a good one and allows for sending the jS vars to PHP without a page reload.

Lazer, jQuery is a pretty easy way use AJAX. I've used Xajax for a while and like that too.
