Passing PHP variables to JavaScript.

My program starts with some basic HTML & jQuery:

<?php?><!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>My Title</title><script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script><script>$(document).ready(function(){$('#enteraddress').hide();$('#entercoords').hide();$('#theyellow').hide();$("#radio01").click(function() {if ($(this).is(':checked')) { $('#enteraddress').show(); $('#theyellow').show(); $('#entercoords').hide();  }});$("#radio02").click(function() {if ($(this).is(':checked')) { $('#entercoords').show(); $('#theyellow').show(); $('#enteraddress').hide();  }});});</script></head><body><form name="mymapgetter" action="action.php"><div style='border: solid 1px black; margin-bottom: 10px;' id="legaldisclaimer"><h1>Legal Disclaimer:</h1><p>Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war.We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live.It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground.The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us --that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion --that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom --and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.</p></body></div><div style='border: solid 1px black; margin-bottom: 10px;' id="locationoptions"><h3>How would you like to enter your location data?</h3><input type="radio" name="radio" value="" id="radio01">By physichal address?</input></br><input type="radio" name="radio" value="" id="radio02">By latitude and longitude?</input></div><div style='border: solid 1px black; margin-bottom: 10px;' id="enteraddress"><h3>Enter your physichal address:</h3></br><input type="text" name="theaddress" value="" style="width: 100%;"></input></div><div style='border: solid 1px black;' id="entercoords"><h3>Enter your latitude and longitude:</h3><input type="text" name="thelat" value=""><- Lat.</input><input type="text" name="thelng" value=""><- Lng.</input></div><input type="submit" id="theyellow" value="getmap" style="width: 100%"></input></form></html>

The form is handled by action.php:

<?phprequire_once 'login.php';$db_server = mysql_connect($db_hostname, $db_username, $db_password);if (!$db_server) die("Unable to connect to MySQL: " . mysql_error());$physichal_address = $_GET["physichaladdress"];$thelat = $_GET["thelat"];$thelng = $_GET["thelng"];mysql_close($link);?><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /><title>Free Wifi locations near you:</title><link type="text/css" href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script><script type="text/javascript" src="map.php"></script></head><body><h1>Free Wifi locations near you:</h1><div id="map"></div><p>If you have any questions or comments please send them to the webmaster penguin@sepserver.net .</p></body></html>

I have verified that $physichal_address is populated with a string other than null with my NetBeans debugger. For some reason however map.php is not seeing the variable $physichal_address. My alert in map.php is showing up as a "" or a null in the alert output. Could it be that map.php is running before action.php has a chance to run? Help! I am not understanding! This is map.php:

<?php header('Content-type: text/javascript'); ?>(function() {//function//window.onload//window.onloadwindow.onload = function() {// Creating a reference to the mapDivvar mapDiv = document.getElementById('map');// Creating a latLng for the center of the mapvar latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(37.09, -95.71);// Creating an object literal containing the properties// we want to pass to the mapvar options = {center: latlng,zoom: 4,mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP};//window.onload// Creating the mapvar map = new google.maps.Map(mapDiv, options);////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'bounds_changed', function() {window.bounds = map.getBounds();alert(window.bounds);});//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// alert("<?php echo $_GET["physichaladdress"]; ?>"); }//window.onload})();//function

map.php is independent from action.php. After action.php is loaded, the browser sends a new request to map.php. If you want to send the variable's value to it, you'll have to append it to the URL:

<script type="text/javascript" src="map.php?physichaladdress=<?php echo $_GET['physichaladdress']; ?>"></script>
