    <p>I understand that there are existing questions and answers that have already addressed this matter. I've looked through them but my situation doesn't allow me to apply the solutions offered in these threads.</p> <p>Given that JavaScript is client-side and PHP is server-side, these are the 2 solutions offered:</p> <p><a href="http://tycoontalk.freelancer.com/php-forum/20054-how-do-i-assign-javascript-variable.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GET/POST Method (Post #3)</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6139663/how-to-pass-a-value-to-php-variable-by-ajax">AJAX Method</a> <hr /> <strong>Limitation: Facebook Page Tab Application</strong></p> <p>I cannot use the above methods of passing parameters through URL as Facebook Page Tabs are loaded in an iFrame, they don't have access to query string. Facebook provides a workaround by using the <code>app_data</code> GET parameter in Facebook <code>signed_request</code> object together with JSON encoding. <hr /> <strong>Solving the Limitation: Using app_data GET Parameter</strong></p> <p>I'm able to pass parameters to the same page by loading the same page again but <strong>I'm still only dealing with PHP variables and values</strong>.</p> <p><strong>fer.php</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $appData = array(); if (!empty($signedRequest) &amp;&amp; !empty($signedRequest['app_data'])) { $appData = json_decode($signedRequest['app_data'], true); } echo '&lt;pre&gt;' . print_r($appData) .'&lt;/pre&gt;'; //prints Array ( [lat] =&gt; 123 [lon] =&gt; 456 ) when fer.php reloads $params = array( 'lat' =&gt; '123', 'lon' =&gt; '456' ); $encodedParams = urlencode(json_encode($params)); $tabUrl = 'http://www.facebook.com/pages/FACEBOOK_PAGE/367117263337064?sk=app_433576149993619'; //$tabUrl will open fer.php $linkUrl = $tabUrl . '&amp;app_data=' . $encodedParams; ?&gt; ... function loopPage() { top.location = "&lt;?= $linkUrl ?&gt;"; //reloads fer.php } </code></pre> <p>Reference: <a href="http://labs.thesedays.com/blog/2011/06/23/query-strings-for-facebook-page-tabs/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://labs.thesedays.com/blog/2011/06/23/query-strings-for-facebook-page-tabs/</a></p> <hr /> <p><strong>Also Tried:</strong> </p> <p><a href="http://iamskwerl.com/tech/2011/11/passing-query-variables-to-facebook-fan-page-tabs/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Cookie Method</a> (Dropped as I'm still only dealing with PHP variables and values)</p> <p>Using JavaScript <code>encodeURIComponent()</code> and <code>encodeURI()</code> (Wrong approach as these methods encode the whole URL and the parameters passed over are not recognized by <code>json_decode</code>)</p> <p><strong>Currently Trying:</strong> JSON with Ajax (XMLHttpRequest)</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8599595/send-json-data-from-javascript-to-php">Send JSON data from Javascript to PHP?</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/406316/how-to-pass-a-variable-data-from-javascript-to-php-and-vice-versa">How to pass data from Javascript to PHP and vice versa?</a> <hr /> <strong>What I'm really trying to achieve:</strong></p> <p>PHP variables getting JavaScript values in the <strong>same page</strong> in a <strong>Facebook iFrame</strong>. It is all right for the page to reload to pass parameter to itself.</p> <p><strong>fer.php</strong> (Wrong Example)</p> <pre><code>function someValues(){ varA = 123; varB = 456; } &lt;?php $cupA = varA; $cupB = varB; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've been trying to solve this problem for days and I'm going nuts to the extend that I even try to trick <code>json_decode</code> by adding <code>%</code> to my data before appending it to a redirect URL =x I really appreciate any help or direction given.

    2. COYes, I'm trying to send data back to the same page so as to pass the data from client-side to server-side. To make sure I didn't get your question wrongly, the HTML/JavaScript and PHP are in the same file(fer.php).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
