Posting Whiz in Training
Passing variables to/from JS w/ PHP All,
Here is some JavaScript I found. It creates a small scrollbar, which allows a user to scroll though a series of 5 images. The images represent votes, and the user can then press a "Rate us" button in order to cast a vote. As you can see in the code, followed by the images loading section, the default image/rating is set at 5. I would like to dynamically change this with a value stored in MySQL by passing the variable via PHP. I would again like to pass the new variable (the image/rating the user chose before selecting the submit button) to MySQL via PHP again. I'm not sure if this is even possible, but I thought I'd ask. I don't know JavaScript, so I'm sorry if this a noob question, cause I am. I do know PHP and MySQL though.
I'm open to other options as well. But I really like the idea of a small scrollbar and the ability to scroll through a series of images and cast a vote based on the image chosen. Could this be done in Flash? If JavaScripts work, I'd rather use that, cause I've got all the code right in front of me.
.... and now you.
Here is the code. I've also zipped and attached a working version. Just unzip the folder and htm file, and run the index.htm file.
Thanks!!!

You cannot pass variables, per se, between JavaScript and PHP. However, your PHP script can certainly author JavaScript, including JavaScript variables. I hope that makes sense, because it's late and I don't feel like debugging all that code you posted. Thanks for using code tags, though!
Seriously, with your JavaScript, use PHP to simpy "echo" the JavaScript variable.
