Hi,

Put the values in hidden inputs on a form and post it to your php page.
The posted inputs will be available in php as variables.

<form action="myFile.php" method="post" name="myForm">
<input type="hidden" name="myVar" value="">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.forms["myForm"].elements["myVar"].value="Hello world"
document.forms["myForm"].submit()
<script>

------------------------

myFile.php:

echo "Received value: ".$myVar ;

Thx, I had scoured the book stores, but hadn't figured it out. Last night
I was back at b&n("to feed my mocha habit") when I came across Query
Strings. I added the code and they seem to work.
