<div>
You cannot directly handle the drag/drop events in PHP.. because event will be in client side while PHPs scope is only in the server side.<br />
<br />
Instead, you can catch those events in JQuery and make server side call to trigger corresponding PHP.<br />
<br />
You can make PHP / any server side &nbsp;call using AJAX(JQuery has functions to handle AJAX calls aswell.. it will make your job easy).<br />
<br />
You can also make normal HTTP call to trigger your PHP class... but usually for these kind of scenario AJAX will be more suitable..<br />
<br />
let me know if it helps!!

I know what you mean, I am just not sure how to implement it. The effect I am trying to achieve is a user can select different objects they want by moving them from one place to another, when they move it the event will save the users preference.<br />
<br />
Do you know of any links etc, which could point me in the right direction?<br />
<br />
Many thanks for your help<br />

Hi,<br />
I want to use JQuery drag and drop ui component. I want to give each div an id. Is there a way that I can detect in PHP the Divs that have been dropped on to a certain area?<br />
Cheers<br />

JQuery Drag and Drop

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.

jQuery

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.
