Agreed. Not only the size of the display -- but what's a size of a pixel? http://www.alistapart.com/articles/a-pixel-identity-crisis/ Presentation is a difficult problem to solve, but I don't think PHP enters into the equation. From my view, the only thing that PHP can do is device-sniff, which is clearly a losing proposition. I believe that a presentation solution will be solved by presentation languages (i.e, client-side).
