Im looking for something that can do this

 

<a onclick="<?php $id = '1'; ?>">Change variable to 1</a>

Are you wanting to change the value of a variable before something is submitted? I am not really understanding what you are asking. Not being dense but need to know what you are trying to apply this to better help you.

 

Thanks

JavaScript acts client-side, and PHP is server-side. You can't update a PHP variable without reloading the page, unless you use an AJAX request to update a variable.

 

What exactly are you trying to achieve by updating a PHP variable?

I am using jquery tabs to

 

tab1 is #tab1

tab2 is #tab2

 

as you see its <a href="#tab2"></a>

 

so I need to pass a variable when its clicked for example $id = '1';
