Access a JavaScript variable from PHP

Let’s say I have the following javascript:

<script>
    var today = new Date();
    var dd = today.getDate();
    var mm = today.getMonth()+1; //January is 0!

    var yyyy = today.getFullYear();
    if(dd<10){dd='0'+dd} if(mm<10){mm='0'+mm} today = mm+'/'+dd+'/'+yyyy;
</script>

Now I want to get the value of today variable into PHP.

$cur_date = '<script type="text/javascript"> document.write(today) </script>';

echo "current date: $cur_date";

$checkin = strtotime($cur_date);

Although I can output the current date but how can I transfer it to $checkin variable with strtotime function?

PHP runs before the page is sent to the browser. It is impossible in the way you want to do it.
