PHP and javascript don't work like that.

PHP is a server-side language. While javascript is a clientside language.

There are still ways of passing data from the client-window to your server, via ajax, query parameters, cookies... But none will work in the same page.

Give us a clearer image on what you are trying to achieve and we will gladly help.

UPDATE

JS

<script type=text/javascript>  

    document.cookie = 'name=Khez' ;  

</script>

PHP

<?php  

    var_dump($_COOKIE['name']);  

?>
