[marcus_epik]

Hi,

 

so i want to make java script get the client date and then pass it on to php so that it can upload it to the database but i have no idea how to go about doing this and was wondering if any of you could help or give me an idea about how to go about doing this.

 

Thanks,

          Marcus

There are several useful methods in JavaScript?s Date object (e.g. Date.getTimezoneOffset(), Date.toLocaleString())

 

You would then have to save teh information retreaved to the db.

marcus_epik,

 

    I would use jQuery AJAX, but here is a "Quick and Dirty" that should work...

	<script>

		parmPassedToPHP = new Image();

		function getUsersScreenResolution(incomingVar) {

			var passedParm = incomingVar;

			// alert('Hi Mom');

			var result;

			var at      = '@';
			var tilde   = '~';
			var param1A = screen.width;
			var param1B = 'W';
			var param2A = screen.height;
			var param2B = 'H';
			var phpVariable = param1A + at +  param1B + tilde + param2A + at +  param2B;

			iURL="transferJSParamToPHP.php?variable=" + phpVariable;

			result = parmPassedToPHP.src=iURL;

			// alert(result);

		};

	</script>

 

Where : transferJSParamToPHP.php

 

looks like this...

 

 

<?php

$getVariable = $_GET['variable'];

// Copy $getVariable to DB...


?>
