Setting PHP variables with Javascript?

Is there a way to set a PHP variable with javascript? I'd like to do something like this:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='Javascript'>
<!--
function set_fruit( fruit )
{
$this_fruit = fruit;
return true;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

<A HREF="www.foo.com" onClick='set_fruit( "Apple" );'>
Apple</A>


where $this_fruit is a PHP session variable.

No. You can't do that. You can use PHP to set a Javascript variable but it can't be done the other way around.

Hi Sano, I'm going to be a pain in the neck and contradict you again, sorry .

Yes, you can do it, if you follow the (somewhat contorted) methods discussed in this thread: http://forums.devshed.com/showthrea...16326&forumid=5

Sano is technically right. PHP and Javascript can't directly interact, but if you use the HTTP mechanisms available in the right way, you can accomplish your goal in a way that is fairly seamless to the end-user.

HTH

I knew you'd pop up somewhere!

At least you acknowledged I was technically right

What do you mean "at least"? (lol)

Thanks guys!
