Hey, I want to open a php page with data sent from the page before. The problem I have it the link to get to the new page is in a database and is being listed using pdo.

PHP

echo '<li  önClick = "headerMove();">'.$projectName.'<a href = "#"><img src = "../img/setting.png"></a><span id = "lastEdited">Last Edited: '.$lastEdited.'</span><span id = "sharedOption">'.$shared.'</span></li>';

if you look there is a onclick listener right at the beginning, I am wondering how I can get that to open up a project page I have set up but along with that bring data along to the new page.

I have tried calling a separate javascript function

JavaScript

function headerMove() {
<?php
header("Location: project.php");
?>
}

but the php code runs before the javascript function is being called.

Please Help :)

Calling PHP code within javascript does not make sense.
You need to use JavaScript, something like this:

JavaScript

function headerMove() {
  location.href = "project.php";
}

Have you tried creating a php session and then storing your data in $_SESSION variables? All target pages must, of course, also be part of the session.

To start a session, the following must be the FIRST item on the page, allowing only to come before it if it's on the page.

<?php session_start(); ?>

You can then load your values into session variables which are global to the session.
