I'm not real hot with it either.
Something like...
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">var filmToTaal = 'blah blah';</script>
<?php
$filmToTaal = '<script type="text/javascript">document.write (filmToTaal);</script>';
?>
That will assign $filmToTaal to the Javascript variable filmToTaal. Then you can do whatever you want with it in PHP.
