Set a $_POST value

Hello, I have an html form which has one input with the name "msg". However I need to add another attribute which is set by javascript so I can access it through $_POST[] as well. How can I do this?

Attributes are not accessible via $_POST object. The name attribute is only used to define the key for the input value.

The only way would be ajax requests.

you can use <form action=response.php> <input type=text name=message> and after submitting the form via get or post u can use $_GET['message'] or $_POST['message'] to get the input from user ... you cant really use JavaScript variable to php ..
