Assign the text of an element as a php variable

Question

i have a text inside an element. This text will changed according to a jQuery. As it changes, I need to pull that text as a php variable. This variable will be used later in the same document.

<div id="divId">sometext<div>

now, I want to assign a php code to assign "sometext" as the variable

I need the below;

    <div id="divId">
    sometext
    <?php
    $variable = (get text from "divId");
    ?>
    <div>

then I can use it somewhere else like

<div>
<?php
if($variable == "sometext")
{
echo ($variable);
}
?>
<div>

I need help on the (get text from "divId")part

Once the PHP is sent to the client, PHP no longer has any control. You'll have to use Javascript to do anything. — SirUncleCid
