You can store it in a cookie or set it in a hidden form field or something.  PHP and Javascript have very little in the field of communication.  Or you could use Ajax. >_>

i have no experience with Ajax. Where can i pick up a decent tutorial?

Uhh...google or an Ajax book.  I'd recommend the former because there are plenty of easily available tutorials.  Look up "php ajax tutorial" or something.
