Passing JavaScript Variables to PHP

When working with web applications, it's often necessary to transfer data between JavaScript and PHP. One common scenario arises when handling JavaScript values, such as user input or calculations, and storing them in a MySQL database using PHP.

To accomplish this, let's consider a specific example: Assuming you have a JavaScript variable "lugar" containing latitude and longitude coordinates obtained from Google Maps:

Our goal is to pass this value to the PHP variable "$lugar" to save it in the database. Here's how:

Utilizing jQuery's AJAX capabilities, we can send the "lugar" variable to a PHP script:

The "save.in.my.database.php" script, written in PHP, will receive the "_POST['lugar']_" variable:

This script will handle the database operations for storing the JavaScript variable "lugar", completing the process of passing data between the frontend (JavaScript) and the backend (PHP).
