changing PHP variable from javascript

[mariosuyoto]

I have an example code like this :

<script language=javascript>

function edit() {

    <? $status="edit";?>   

{

function new() {

    <? $status="new";?>   

{

</script>

<form method=post action=storage.php>

  <input type=button name=edit value=EDIT onClick=edit()>

</form>

 

The problem is

i can't get $status at storage.php as i want ($status = new)

Any help for my problem? and how should i do to get $status = "edit" at storage.php?

 

Thank You

PHP is executed on server. Then the output is sent to browser, where JavaScript is executed. Browser does not see PHP, and cannot change any PHP variables.

 

In short: what you trying is impossible.

You could store it in a cookie, use AJAX, or just do a regular GET/POST request to "transfer" it to PHP though.
