how can i check if an element is visible in php? [duplicate]

Question

i have a couple of variables that i want to save or not save to a database depending on whether or not i have set them as hidden/visible in a javascript function, i have searched for a while but cant find anything. Thanks!

Answer 1

That's absolutely impossible since PHP runs on the server while JavaScript and CSS are client-side.

The only thing you can do is checking if the element is visible using JavaScript and sending that data to your PHP script, e.g. via a hidden <input> field.
