[PHP] User Screen Resolution
I am new to PHP and couldn't find any Globals for the User's Screen Resolution. (don't laugh at me please) I used to use a Javascript function to pass the resolution using screen.width and screen.height. What I am actually trying to do is make a page resize depending on screen resolution, in case that helps anyone. Thanks for your help. Ben

Both must be accomplished using JavaScript. Larry -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

The reason why this worked for javascript is because it is a client side instruction set. PHP is a server side instruction set. PHP has no idea what resolution the user's screen is nor can it resize the browser. In fact, PHP can't do anything with the browser. I should just copy and save the above and paste it into everyone one of these types of questions. ;) -- --Matthew Sims --http://killermookie.org -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] User Screen Resolution
This is because there is no way for PHP to run in the browser. Wouldn't it be nice to have a plug-in that allowed PHP to run there, perhaps as a JavaScript replacement? Guess it would have to be a throttled back version of PHP to adhere to sandbox security concerns. Sigh Warren Vail -Original Message- From: Larry E.

One aspect of this list that I really enjoy is finding out that everyone but me is on vacation or out of the office. 8-b Warren Vail -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 4:22 PM To: Vail, Warren Subject: Re: RE: [PHP] User Screen Resolution Phil Ewington will be out of the office until 1st November.

Re: [PHP] User Screen Resolution
There has been talk in the past about making a phpscript that would run on the client, but then there are all the problems with browser integration, and universal support. I say this is a good niche for javascript, so make use of it if you need it just like you don't use a hammer to tighten a screw... - Original Message - From: Vail, Warren [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Larry E.

RE: [PHP] User Screen Resolution
Good point, I suspect much of the desirability of having PHP on the client, is it seems almost cruel and unusual punishment to have to learn how to use a screwdriver, after having spent valuable time learning all about a hammer. I wonder if I would have been so enthusiastic about learning and using PHP if I had known in the beginning that I'd need to learn JavaScript as well.
