You can not pass data from JavaScript variables to PHP variables. JavaScript runs on the client and PHP runs on the server. Also since JavaScript is not ruining on the server it can not connect to a database.

To get your data to the PHP code you need to send it via a GET or POST request, or use AJAX as gits mentioned.
