Hi all,
Does anyone know if it is possible to pass variables from JavaScript to
PHP?
Any help will be much appreciated
Many Thanks
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
One possible way to do this is, when submitting a form, set a hidden
variable to the value using javascript. Example:
<script>
function setVars( theForm )
{
theForm.jsvar.value = 'somevalue';
theForm.submit();
}
</script>
...
<form>
<input type="hidden" name="jsvar">
<input type="button" name="btnSubmit" value="Submit" onClick="javascript:
setVars(this.form);">
</form>
This is just a suggestion.

I have answered variations on this question at least 3 times. Please check
the archives. JavaScript is client-side, PHP is server-side. The only way
to go from JavaScript to PHP (in that direction) is by going to a new page
-- 1. Reloading the current page, with the relevant data in the query
string; 2. Loading a new page, with the relevant data in the query string;
3. Submitting a form, with the relevant data in hidden or other kinds of
fields.

Another way to pass data from JavaScript <-> PHP is with cookies.
Use JavaScript to set the cookie and once you reload the script, PHP will
have access to the variables stored in the cookie.
I implemented this in a real-time trivia game (using PHP for the backend
logic, and JavaScript for the client-side logic), and it worked quite well.

Hello fellow PHP windows users.
I installed Apache 1.3.23 and PHP 4.1.2 a couple of days ago on my win 2k
installation. I am having trouble with the php.ini file: I am trying to set
the session_save.path to something other than the default value of "/tmp"
(since /tmp doesn't work on windows) such as: "c:\temp\php" (or any other
directory such as: "c:\winnt\temp" etc.)
However, even after I change the value, save php.ini, restart apache, and
run a test script such as phpInfo(), it still showss the default value of
"/tmp"!
I tried changing the value explicitly by setting up a session in a php
script such as:
<?php
session_save_path("c:\temp\php");
session_start();
phpInfo();
?>
it displays the session.save_path() value correctly on the info page!!!
What am i doing wrong? Are there any other values that i need to change? Do
I need to change anything in httpd.conf in Apache? I am utterly confused.
FYI: i am using the php.ini-optimized file. Other changes that i make to it
work, such as when I changed register_globals to on, set the extension
paths, etc.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Try C:/temp
This is the exact line from my config.
session.save_path = c:/temp

I've been playing around with my php installation. Even when I get rid of
the php.ini file from the c:\winnt directory and then run the phpInfo()
script from the browser, I get weird values such as:
Configuration File (php.ini) Path c:\winnt
Can anyone explain whats going on here? I'm really confused.
thanks.

That is because php is looking for php.ini in c:\winnt.....it has no
relation to whether or not the file actually exists there. If a php.ini
does not exist where it looks for it, php uses defaults for every internal
setting.

Yes, it seems that php defaults to some hardcoded values if it can't find
the php.ini file. However, my problem still remains unsolved. Even when the
php.ini file is in the c:\winnt directory it is not registering changes to
the session.save_path variable.
Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

Sorry if there is any confusion. The question is entirely PHP related. My
concern is limiting the scope of PHP's use in my file system. I know that
there are commands that can be put into PHP.ini that affect the areas in
which read/write operations can be performed by PHP. I'd like to offer PHP
support to several websites, but not if they have total access to the
server's file system, which appears to be the default setting for PHP.

I'm having some problem upgrading my PHP from 4.0.6 to 4.1.2, when I try
executing the function mssql_fetch_array, the script stops responding. I've
tested the script and isolated it to this one function, it connects to the
database just fine, its only when I try to get retrieve a record set is when
it stops responding.
I'm using mssql 7.0, with the latest service patches on Windows 2000.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
