Answer 1

PHP and javascript don’t work like that.

PHP is a server-side language. While javascript is a clientside language.

There are still ways of passing data from the client-window to your server, via ajax, query parameters, cookies… But none will work in the same page.

Give us a clearer image on what you are trying to achieve and we will gladly help.

UPDATE

JS

<script type="text/javascript">  
    document.cookie = 'name=Khez' ;  
</script>  

PHP

<?php  
    var_dump($_COOKIE['name']);  
?>
