That's client side stuff, you have to capture this in JavaScript.

Yes, if you're talking about a server-side image map. If you have the
following on a page:

<form>
<input type="image" name="cmap" src="campus_map.jpg">
</form>

when the user clicks on a spot on the picture, the browser would sent
the variable pair cmap.x and cmap.y to the server. These two can be
retrieved in PHP from the $_GET array at the indices "cmap_x" and
"cmap_y".

Server-side image map is a somewhat outdated technique however. People
nowadays usually use client-side image maps instead.

If you want to contact the web server with the coordinates:

If you want to handle everything on the client, use USEMAP instead.
