php using javascript objects

[phdfromic]

I want to initialize a TEXTAREA with text depending on the values
already selected in other areas - input type=TEXT or SELECT.

How can I set a PHP variable with a value retrieving those HTML object
values ?

First of all, PHP runs server side, not client side. So you can't
access the javascript objects in the client's browser.

You can get the info from the $_POST or $_GET variables (depending on
how you process your forms). But it means sending the page to the
server then sending it back to the browser.
