• javascript
• php
• cookies

• 2 localStorage != cookies. If it was a cookie and it was sent to the server, then yes, PHP could access it (upon the next request). – user2864740 Commented Feb 7, 2014 at 2:16

Create the cookie with Javascript:

var headvalue = "blue";
document.cookie = "headvalue="+headvalue;

Retrieve it with PHP:

$headvalue = $_COOKIE["headvalue"];

What are you trying to do? I suppose you could do that with AJAX by calling a PHP page with GET/POST, submitting your variable and storing it, but it isn't going to do you much good after that script has pleted executing, unless you stored it as a session variable.
