Question

i have a small problem regarding jquery/php.
in the last few days i built an interactive game.

excerpt:

counter++; 
$("#counter").html("" + counter);
....

so the number of clicks is counted by the counter and displayed in a span.

my wish:
how can i make it possible that i get this value of the span by a form submit? the submit goes to another page so my idea was that i make a php variable out of it – but i have no clue how to do that 🙁

can you PLEASE give me a little hint or help? 🙂

thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Have a hidden input element:

<input type="hidden" name="myhiddenvar" id="myhiddenvar" />

Assign the value of the counter to the hidden element using jQuery

$("#myhiddenvar").val(counter);

Grab the value via $_POST or $_GET as such:

$counter = $_POST['myhiddenvar'];
