      PHP runs on the web server where as JavaScript runs in the browser. Since they run in completely different environments on completely different computers, these two technologies cannot share variables...

      However, both can access HTML elements...like HiddenFields or Cookies.

      So, in your PHP code, set the value of a HiddenField element so that when your JavaScript runs it can retrieve the value from the HiddenField.... You can also set the value of the HiddenField using JavaScript so that you can retrieve it in your PHP code.
