Well, four options:

  • Set it with php, in the javascript
    <script type="javascript">var name = "<?php echo $name; ?>";</script>
  • Set a cookie with php, and retrieve it with javascript (Javascript cookies, PHP cookies)
  • Use jquery Ajax (Visual Jquery) (Jquery Ajax)
  • Set it as a GET variable (append it to the end of the url) (Like this)
