here i want to save xmlhttp.responseTexrt in a php variable in the same file how i can do that ?

Answer 1

Javascript is executed on the browser, and php is executed in the web server. You can not directly pass values from javascript to php.

Therefore, you need to make another ajax call (POST) from javascript to the web server that sends the xmlHttp.responseText, and write php code in the server to store the value to database.
