On page load, get browser width and height, and put them in url bar

Hi everyone,

I've stumbled across a problem where on page load, I'm trying to get the browser height and width and put it in the address bar like so:

index.php?height=333width=333

Basically I've managed to get the height and width of the browser window using Javascript, and stored them as:

JavaScript

var myHeight
var myWidth

But I need to use those variables in PHP for many other things. My thought was to put the Javascript variables into the URL bar, where PHP can extract them using SUBSTRING.

Is this possible or is there a different/easier way?

Regards,
Tom.

Lots of website do that already. in the first load send some script that would calculate with window height and width. then create a location redirection here is an example:

C++

<script>
var width=get_window_width();//build the function 
var height=get_window_height();//build the function 
document.location='somelocation_or_samelocation.php?width='+width+'&Height='+height;
</script>
