As well as being off-topic (the way you phrased your original question), the answer you seek (both screen resolution AND passing variables between Javascript and PHP), has been answered umpteen times. A quick search of the archives would have given you all the answers you needed. Maybe if you did a little research before asking the list you would have gotten a better response?

Use javascript to get the screen resolution and pass it back to your php script thru a hidden form field or some other means.
