I have been trying to figure this out for two days and have had no luck.I am using PHP with Javascript and I am trying to access a Javascript variable on another Page.

Here is my Javascript code which is only alerting the user what taskID is...

```
<script>
function myFunction(taskID)
{
alert("Task #" + taskID);

}
</script>

```

Here is my PHP

```
//select all tasks for this report
            $tasks = mysqli_query($conn,"SELECT taskID, hoursSpent, workDone, plannedTasks FROM Tasks where reportID = $report_id AND projID = $proj_id");
            $task_count = 1;
            while($row1 = mysqli_fetch_array($tasks))
            {
                $taskID = $row1['taskID'];
                //display the task information
                echo "<strong id='tasks'>Task #" . $task_count . "</strong>";
                echo " - <a href = '#' onclick ='myFunction($taskID)'>Edit</a><br>";

                echo "Hours Spent: " . $row1['hoursSpent'] . "<br><br>"; 
                echo "Accomplished: <br>" . $row1['workDone'] . "<br><br>";
                echo "Planned for Next week: <br>" . $row1['plannedTasks'] . "<br>";
                echo "<br>";
                $task_count++;
            }

```

how can i pass that taskID to another page so i can edit the task information?

Thanks!
