javascript items into php to store in database.

[brown2005]

<A HREF="javascript:alert('Your resolution is '+screen.width+'x'+screen.height);">

Click for your screen resolution

 

I have got this code off the tinternet to display the width and height of the browsers window, but wat i want is say

 

$screenheight = screen.height

$screenwidth = screen.width

 

so i can use these to put in my database.

 

how do i go about inserting the javascript into php.

You would have to pass those values from javascript to php via GET/POST or a Cookie.

 

Javascript is Client PHP is server thus that is the only way to get them to talk.

first, if you are just trying to track stats about your users, use Google Analytics. it's way better then anything you can come up with yourself, and they do track screen resolutions.

 

assuming you MUST have it in your DB, you could do something like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
  window.onload = function (){
    var tracker = new Image();
    image.src = 'tracker.php?w='+screen.width+'&h='+screen.height;
  }
</script>

then, in your tracker.php file you can access $_GET['w'] and $_GET['h']
