Transform JavaScript getElementById to PHP

Question

How do I transform these .getElementIds and the last line into PHP code? I've been struggling mightily on how to tackle these.

If you're looking for the values, you need to send them through a form, use the name attribute on the elements. — Da Mahdi03, Mar 21 '21 at 06:45
Correct @DaMahdi03 - In the case he wants the values, he needs to make a form and then POST or GET all the values. — Marcellin Wabo, Mar 21 '21 at 06:55

I am not sure if this solves your issue, but if you're trying to use a javascript code inside a .php file, you can just echo the js code. e.g.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="first-name-field">
  Howdy
  </div>
</body>
</html>

<?php

echo "
            <script type=\"text/javascript\">
            var e = document.getElementById('first-name-field')
            console.log(e);
            </script>";
?>

Hope this solves your issue

I don't understand but if you mean to send your attr to PHP/server then do something like (Post data to server).

$.post("hello.php", {
    firstName: firstName,
    city:city,
    zip:zip
  }, function(result){
    alert(result);
  });
});

hello.php is a file sitting on the server to serve your request, bellow is a code in hello.php

<?php echo $_POST['city']; ?>
