javascript variable to php variable

Question

How to assign javascript variable to php $_POST to get the data on same page.

i tried following

var t= timesheetId;//timesheet id is coming from js file 
$.ajax({
    type:"POST",
    data: {'variable': t},
});

You need to send it somewhere, and process it in a .php-file separately. Specify a url : "/phpfile.php", parameter too, where you then use $_POST['variable'] in a phpfile.php — Qirel

Without having too much details, it seems like you might be confused with client-side and server-side programming. You should read through this StackOverflow question. — Qirel

You need to add a url to that ajax request so that it sends it to wherever your php file is. right now it's not being sent anywhere
