How to pass javascript jQuery variable value in php array?

how to pass javascript jQuery variable value in php array

• For example var dirnm = jQuery.trim($('#dirname').val()); var parent1 = jQuery.trim($('#parent').val()); var url = '<?=$this->url(array('controller'=>'index','action'=>'dirnameex','dirname'=>dirnm ,'parent'=>parent1))?>'; dirnm and parent1 are a ajax variables. So I want to pass dirnm and parent1 to a php array.

• Answer:

  This wont work as JavaScript is executed in the browser and PHP executed on the server .. so the PHP would be executed before the page is loaded in the browser and the JavaScript executed .... What you could do is POST the variables to PHP : var dirnm = jQuery.trim($('#dirname').val()); var parent1 = jQuery.trim($('#parent').val()); $.post("sript.php", { dirname: dirnm, parent: parent1 } ); then in PHP (script.php) : // get the variables from $_POST $dir = $_POST['dirname']; $par = $_POST['parent']; $this->url(array('controller'=>'index','action'=>'dirnameex','dirname'=> $dir,'parent'=> $par)) http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/ and http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.post.php
