How do I use php code from a different domain?

Here's what I'm trying to do: I have a php page I created on one domain, that stores information in a database. Next, I have another web page (This page is html NOT php) on a Different domain that I call this php page using Javascript, and would like to return a variable from the php page. How is this possible? I know it is, so don't say that it isn't! (10 points for the person that finally answers this question!)
 
Ok, this makes marginally more sense. So, you want your PHP to return a variable to the JavaScript? Try a hidden field:
<input id="myHiddenField" value="myValue" type="hidden" hidden/>

and the js:
var value = document.getElementById('myHiddenField').value;

if that is not the case, if you are trying to get a JS variable into PHP, that cannot be done.

PHP is a server side language, which means the code is DONE by the time the web page is displayed. JavaScript is a client side language, which means the code is executed ONCE THE PAGE IS LOADED.

Communication between client-side and server-side languages is limited, and one way (server-side->client-side via hidden field [crude]). I suggest you rethink your method...
