I don't know much about javascript, but I would do the following: 1. Figure out what javascript data structure you are going to use to hold the data. 2. Figure out exactly how it should be coded. 3. Simply write your PHP script to output your javascript as in 2.
The hard part of the matter (which is not very hard) is to figure out how to do the javascript. Create a static page on your local hard drive with hard coded javascript data structures. When you figure out how to do it like that, then add the PHP to generate the page in that format. By the way, I am going to soon need to do something similar - where the user gives several inputs in a row, and then the data is packed and posted to a php script - which outputs another batch of questions. If you are running a slow connection, or the server is loaded, then having to reload the page each time you type a word or two could get quite frustrating. So, let me know what you come up with if you have the time. -Jason Garber IonZoft.com At 10:29 AM 11/22/2001 +0100, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Hi, out there >Has anybody found a way to pass variables between javascript and php? >Here's what I want to achieve: >1.
