Re: [PHP] 2 questions: Search in array and detect JS
for js detection, you can use that in a previous page :
script type=text/javascript
document.write('a href=ajax-page.htmlpage/a');
/script
noscripta href=simple-page.htmlpage/a/noscript
it is simple, and work fine.
no need to have cookies enable

no need to have cookies enable-Nice, most of the
methods discussed focuses on the fact that you are sending this person from
a previous page,eg:index.php to- contact_us.phpbut what if you are using
AJAX on the first page (eg: index.php)then isnt the location.href =
'/url/for/ajax/index2/page.php'; the best solution?Cheers!Ryan

I am sure I am not the first person to come accross this little problem, how did you solve it? Dan eluded to a big problem here, regarding the potential exit trap of redirecting a user to a different page. However there's even more at stake--this solution would require you to manage *two* versions of your page. Come on, we can do better than that... What you should do is create your normal page as is, and then write your javascript to attach itself to whatever things you want to AJAXify on that page. Research unobtrusive javascript, it should get you in the right direction. The idea is, you build your page to function normally without any javascript. Then you attempt to hook up the javascript via your page's onload event (there are other methods too I believe, Google it). If javascript is enabled, then the javascript will be hooked in; if not, then no AJAX will be loaded, but your page will still function as needed.

Re: [PHP] 2 questions: Search in array and detect JS
Ryan: First question. Technically no, you can't detect js from php. However, I read where one can detect if a user has cookies on by sending a cookie and then reading it back. And considering that you can send a cookie via js, you could do that. However, that would mean that the user had to have both js and cookies on. Second question.
