One way of doing it is to make use of a hidden text/input box.
<input type="text" style="display:none" id="hiddenVal" />
In the Javascript assign the variable to the input box.
<script>
function loadValues()
{
var abc = 'this is text';
document.getElementById("hiddenVal").value = abc;
//alert(document.getElementById("hiddenVal").value);
}
</script>
<body onload="loadValues();">
<form action="processing.php" method="post">
<input type="text" style="display:none" id="hiddenVal" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
This is one method to allow you to use Javascript variable and post it to the backend. Alternatively if you want to display these values just remove the
style="display:none"
on the control.
Now after the post occurred one should be able to pick up the variable using processing.php
<?php
echo $_POST["hiddenVal"];
?>
Very dirty way of doing this but does the trick.
