What are the advantages and disadvantages of using JavaScript to determine mouse position and pass it to PHP for processing?

When using JavaScript to determine mouse position and passing it to PHP for processing, one advantage is that it allows for dynamic and interactive web applications. However, a disadvantage is that it may introduce security risks if not properly sanitized and validated before being processed by PHP. 

<?php
if(isset($_POST['mouseX']) && isset($_POST['mouseY'])){
    $mouseX = $_POST['mouseX'];
    $mouseY = $_POST['mouseY'];
    
    // Process the mouse position data here
    
    echo "Mouse position processed successfully";
} else {
    echo "Error: Mouse position data not received";
}
?>
