[Javascript] POST a single value from a prompt

[Dave Shaw]

I'm replying to the digest; I hope this doesn't duplicate another
response.

If you specifically want to use POST rather than GET, I'm not sure how
to do that directly. I did an end-around once via a hidden form but I
thought it was ugly.

If you want to use GET, the basics are fairly simple:

function myFunction() {
    var myString="This is the data value I want to send to PHP";
    document.location="myprogram.php?value="+myString;
}

myprogram.php would retrieve the value using "$value=$_GET['value']";

Hope this helps.
