I have the following issue. I am building a form in which a user can select a value from a select option and i want to save that value into a php variable. The form and everything are in the same php file. Is there anyway to achieve something like that with jquery?
I do not want to submit the form, just to change the value of php variable.
Thanks
Your script is no longer running, when the user received the HTML-Form, since the request ended. Thus, there is no variable which you could set.
However, you can send a new request via jQuery.ajax() with the value of your select field. How to handle this request, depends strongly on what you want to do with the value the user provided.
