You are suffering from the split-brain syndrome of web development.  PHP as you know is a server-side while Javascript is client-side application.  The left side of the brain needs to communicate to the right side of the brain.  For the PHP to see the variables they must be posted to the server either as Form-Post variables or hidden-form-variables.  I've done this by invoking DOM to instantiate client-side objects (hidden-form-variables) and then posted the form via a submit (Javascript called).  

If I'm off base here sorry about that but I know that I've been stung by this a lot in my applications.

  Subject: [nycphp-talk] Javascript & PHP


  I have put together an HTML form that uses Javascript which works well. However when I fill it in and fire it off to my PHP script (which for the purpose of testing simply echos what was entered in to the form) it cannot find the entered data; But when I strip out the Javascript and the fields that uses the javascript my PHP script happly echos back what was entered into the form. does anubody know what I am doing wrong??
