I am running this loop in php but using a jquery click function during the output. How can i record which instance of $i was clicked. When I use $(this) it returns the id. 

The $('#pid-form').val('$frame\_id[$i]') actually has the number i want as the value but I am not sure how to use it or convert it to a variable that I can use.

```
for($i = 0; $i < $numRecords2; $i++){

$prod_id = $_SESSION['prod_array'][$frame_id[$i]];
echo"

$('#frame$frame_id[$i]').click(function() {
    $('#top-left-frame').html('<img src=\"$upper_left[$i]\" alt=\"\" />');
    $('#top-mid-frame').css('background-image','url($upper_middle[$i])'); 
    $('#top-right-frame').html('<img src=\"$upper_right[$i]\" alt=\"\" />');
    $('#mid-left-frame').css('background-image','url($middle_left[$i])'); 
    $('#mid-right-frame').css('background-image','url($middle_right[$i])'); 
    $('#bottom-left-frame').html('<img src=\"$bottom_left[$i]\" alt=\"\" />');
    $('#bottom-mid-frame').css('background-image','url($bottom_middle[$i])'); 
    $('#bottom-right-frame').html('<img src=\"$bottom_right[$i]\" alt=\"\" />');
    $('#frame-select').html('$prod_id');
    $('#pid-form').val('$frame_id[$i]');
    $('#oa_id-form').val('$prod_id');
    var frameState = $(this).attr('id');
    $.cookie('frameState', frameState, { expires: 7 });     
    alert($.cookie('frameState') + ' was clicked.');
 });
";
 }

```
