n00b - passing variables! from HTML to PHP?

[php-punk]

right i made a stats page, but is tehre anyway i can use java script to active the PHP page to record the stats?! this is my script for the php page:

Code: Select all

<?
//getting the user's IP address
$Rip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
//getting the user's Port
$Rport=$_SERVER['REMOTE_PORT'];


//Getting the user's Browser (Agent)
$b=$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

//getting the referries URL
$r=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

//Put all this into a Database for later viewing:


//connect to the DB
$Connect=mysql_connect(localhost,stu3sk8r,badger);

//select DB
$DB=mysql_select_db(stu3sk8r_uk_db);

//setting the query in a variable, the query, in this case it INSERTS to the db
$query="INSERT INTO cstats (`ip`,`port`,`browser`,`reffer`,`date`) VALUES ('$Rip','$Rport','$b','$r','');";

//running the actual query
mysql_query($query);

?>

al i know it that it would need ot be done over a command line, but not a clue how?!

any help greatly appriciated

I would reload the page with a javascript setTimeOut() calling to a fuction that would reload the page sending some GET variables that then would update the database.
