Im new to php and javascript so please bear with me.

index.php:

<?php
 $_SESSION['test'] = 1;
?>

<div>
 <?php echo "Before: " . $_SESSION['test']; ?>
 <input type="submit" value="CLICK" onclick="<?php $_SESSION['test'] = 0; ?>;" />
 <?php echo "After: " . $_SESSION['test']; ?>

    PHP is a preprocessor. Everything you write in PHP is executed BEFORE the page is presented, while javascript executes clientside as the page is running. Therefore, you cannot set a PHP value with a javascript event.
