JavaScript is parsed on the client side, and PHP on the server side.
Because HTTP is stateless, you'd have to call the server again from the
JavaScript, as the JavaScript isn't parsed until after the request is
complete.

You might like to investigate the XMLHTTP object for calling the server
from JavaScript, but it might be better to figure out an alternative way
to do it without requiring the second call back to the server. I can't
really help any more without more specifics (maybe some code).
