Hi all I'm new to php and I think I've fried my brain a bit. I'm using Wordpress. I'm looping through some pages and creating a 'select' menu for each page with options relating to that page. I'm not displaying these select menu's but attaching them to a php variable so I could use them with javascript/AJAX after the page has loaded. Once the page has loaded have these php variable gone ? Is there a way to store these varaiables so I can use them after the page has loaded.
