Sorry, I misread your message when I just posted now.

It is impossible. Think about how the page request thing works. You are
asking the JavaScript to alter the HTTP request after the request has been
made as the JavaScript won't be loaded into the browser until it has
received the response after the request. The only way it would be possible
would be to somehow capture the browser's refresh event and tell it to
submit a form instead.

Cookies are the method of sending variables to a server without submitting a
form.

how can I pass a variable to my "php code" when I refresh my page not using
"cookie"s?

is this possible with <INPUT>?
