  1. You can achieve it via AJAX, see the codex

    Add this to functions.php

    add_action( 'wp_ajax_add_foobar', 'prefix_ajax_add_foobar' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_add_foobar', 'prefix_ajax_add_foobar' );

function prefix_ajax_add_foobar() {
    // Handle request then generate response using WP_Ajax_Response

    // In a real world scenario, apply all the validation, 
    // sanitization and black magic to POSTed variables before using them

    $name=$_POST['name']; 
    echo $name;
}

    Now the following could go in footer.php inside of <script> tags or in a separate JS file.

    jQuery.post(
    ajaxurl, 
    {
        'action': 'add_foobar',
        'data':   jQuery("form").sanitize() 
    }, 
    function(response){
        alert('The server responded: ' + response);            
    }
);

    All things being equal you should see an alert with the value that was posted.
