POST is what browser sends from client your broswer  to the web server  Post data is send to server via http headers  and it is available only at the server end or in between the path  example  a proxy server  from client  your browser  to web-server  So it cannot be handled from client side scripts like JavaScript  You need to handle it via server side scripts like CGI  PHP  Java etc  If you still need to write in JavaScript you need to have a web-server which understands and executes JavaScript in your server like Node js

POST data is data that is handled server side  And Javascript is on client side  So there is no way you can read a post data using JavaScript

One option is to set a cookie in PHP   For example  a cookie named invalid with the value of  invalid expiring in 1 day   setcookie  invalid    invalid  time     60   60   24     Then read it back out in JS  using the JS Cookie plugin    var invalid   Cookies get  invalid     if invalid     undefined        Cookies remove  invalid        You can now access the value from the invalid variable in JavaScript

You can  json encode  to first encode your post variables via PHP  Then create a JS object  array  from the JSON encoded post variables  Then use a JavaScript loop to manipulate those variables    Like - in this example below - to populate an HTML form form    lt script gt        lt  php  post vars json encode    json encode  this- gt input- gt post       gt          SET POST VALUES OBJECT ARRAY     var post value Arr    lt  php echo  post vars json encode    gt     creates a JS object with your post variables     console log post value Arr           POPULATE FIELDS BASED ON POST VALUES     for var key in post value Arr     Loop post variables array          if document getElementById key      Field Exists             console log  found post value Arr key form field     key               document getElementById key  value   post value Arr key                      lt  script gt

It depends of what you define as JavaScript  Nowdays we actually have JS at server side programs such as NodeJS  It is exacly the same JavaScript that you code in your browser  exept as a server language  So you can do something like this   Code by Casey Chu  https   stackoverflow com a 4310087 5698805   var qs   require  querystring     function  request  response        if  request method     POST             var body                request on  data   function  data                body    data                  Too much POST data  kill the connection                 1e6     1   Math pow 10  6      1   1000000     1MB             if  body length  gt  1e6                  request connection destroy                         request on  end   function                  var post   qs parse body                  use post  blah    etc                        And therefrom use post  key     newVal  etc

Why not use localStorage or any other way to set the value that you   would like to pass    That way you have access to it from anywhere      By anywhere I mean within the given domain context

POST variables are only available to the browser if that same browser sent them in the first place   If another website form submits via POST to another URL  the browser will not see the POST data come in   SITE A  has a form submit to an external URL  site B  using POST SITE B  will receive the visitor but with only GET variables

lt script gt   lt  php if   POST       Check to make sure params have been sent via POST   foreach   POST as  field   gt   value       Go through each POST param and output as JavaScript variable      val   json encode  value      Escape value      vars     var  field    val  n         echo   lt script gt  n vars lt  script gt  n       gt   lt  script gt    Or use it to put them in an dictionary that a function could retrieve    lt script gt   lt  php if   POST       vars   array      foreach   POST as  field   gt   value        array push  vars   field   json encode  value       Push to  vars array so we can just implode   it  escape value       echo   lt script gt var post      implode       vars     lt  script gt  n      Implode array  javascript will interpret as dictionary     gt   lt  script gt    Then in JavaScript   var myText   post  text        Or use a function instead if you want to do stuff to it first function Post variable         do stuff to variable before returning      var thisVar   post variable     return thisVar      This is just an example and shouldn t be used for any sensitive data like a password  etc  The POST method exists for a reason  to send data securely to the backend  so that would defeat the purpose   But if you just need a bunch of non-sensitive form data to go to your next page without  page blah value amp bleh value amp blahbleh value in your url  this would make for a cleaner url and your JavaScript can immediately interact with your POST data

A little piece of PHP to get the server to populate a JavaScript variable is quick and easy   var my javascript variable    lt  php echo json encode   POST  my post      null    gt     Then just access the JavaScript variable in the normal way   Note there is no guarantee any given data or kind of data will be posted unless you check - all input fields are suggestions  not guarantees

JavaScript is a client-side scripting language  which means all of the code is executed on the web user s machine  The POST variables  on the other hand  go to the server and reside there  Browsers do not provide those variables to the JavaScript environment  nor should any developer expect them to magically be there   Since the browser disallows JavaScript from accessing POST data  it s pretty much impossible to read the POST variables without an outside actor like PHP echoing the POST values into a script variable or an extension addon that captures the POST values in transit  The GET variables are available via a workaround because they re in the URL which can be parsed by the client machine
