The Little Guy Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 What would be the best way to send JavaScript variables to a database? My guess would be that I would have to some how pass the values off to PHP... Right? What is going to happen, is that some user takes a code I give them, then JavaScript will get some values such as screen resolution and small things like that... Screen resolution can only be gotten with JavaScript, and once it has been gotten, it needs to send the values back to my server, to save into a database... So... how is this done?

cooldude832 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 a few ways. A hidden input variable sending via a form as normal in php. Ajax (this uses js vars any way) Yes screen res in php is an issue. A lot of people will "flash" on first load of a site to get the screen res store it in a session or cookie to use on all other pages.

The Little Guy Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 I was looking through a file, and they use something like this: document.writeln('<script language="JavaScript" src="http://mywebsite.com/file.php?text=Somevale"></script>'); Would that work???

cooldude832 Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 that don't really work. the js vars are screen.width and screen.height so send an ajax query to set those to a session Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
