Screen Resolution Help Needed

[Ralph Freshour]

Is there a way I can get the screen resolution using PHP? I want to
set some parameters depending upon whether the user's screen is 800
wide or 1024 wide.

Thanks...

You have to use javascript to retreive that and send it back to your
server. You could make an intermediate redirecting page that gathers
the information, then forwards the user to the main site with the screen
resolution information attached to the url in the query string.

<script type="text/javascript">
window.location .href='realinde x.php?scrh='+sc reen.height+'&s crw='+screen.wi dth;
</script>

You should build your site properly, make it expandable

There are practically no circumstances when this [which has to be done via
Javascript, assuming the user's browser has javascript switched on - I
think about 14% of people don't] is a good idea when designing for the
web. Do you _really_ need to do this?

What if my screen is set up to use 640x480, or I use a text browser, or if
I'm a search engine?

Erm, you could do, but it's really not very advisable..
