javascript doesnt communicate with php directly, but they are linked via the DOM. so the solution is to store the js variable in a hidden form in html, then use php to get the info from the html. here is a sof link which could help https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1917576/how-to-pass-javascript-variables-to-php

Arman A sry I lost attention of that converation. First you'll need to setup a HTML Form like Mike already linked After that you can extract the variable with: $variablename = $_POST['namepropfromhtml'] And Prozess it further from there. If I don't forget about this I'll post more code here later

You need to use a form to send the variable to the php script on the server. https://www.sololearn.com/learn/HTML/1035/

It doesn't have to be $variablename you can put here any naming for a variable that's the variable you can work with later in the code
