Re: [PHP-DB] Resolution detect and redirect
Does it work when Javascript is turned off in the client browser?

Re: [PHP-DB] Resolution detect and redirect
I have noticed many posting about this topic and the overall answer seems to
be it can't be done. Well, it can!
I actually finally got it to work. It is actually quite simple. I think I
was trying to make it too hard. FYI, here is the code in case anyone else
has this problem:
This goes above on the page you need the php include code in.
window.location.replace("http://www.theairwaysite.com
/restest.php?w=" + screen.width)');
?>
This goes where the php include need to show on the page:
Then you just have to name your headers for the resolution, ie
header800.htm, header1024.htm, etc...
Works like a dream!
It chooses a header based on the screen resolution of the user and includes
it in the proper place for the php include.

Re: [PHP-DB] Resolution detect and redirect
The PHP function "get_browser()" extract many of the client browser characteristics but not the screen resolution ! PHP experts tells not to use JavaScript so you have two choices: 1st. Do not make a good adaptive design, with horizontal scroll bars or tile background images, and tell the user this page was made thinking he or she must use the resolution you choose at design time or; 2nd. Take the risk of use JavaScript "window.screen.width" and "window.location" properties to evaluate and redirect the user to the well graphic designed pages.

RE: [PHP-DB] Resolution detect and redirect
Would be a feat indeed if you could get PHP to do this! It does need Javascript to do (although having returned the result, you could then carry this forward by setting a variable server side (in php!) that identified the user and continued to display appropriate page versions). If you were feeling really clever, you could even go the whole hog and store these as variables using the session functions of PHP4 (would then mean that the variable as well as any others you choose to set for the user don't have to be laboriously carried over each time). Just a thought. Seriously though, definitely worth trying http://www.irt.org I would be very supprised if there wasn't an FAQ specifically about this (its actually very easy to do in Javascript).

Is there anyway to convince you this is a very very bad idea? Leave the choice up to the user. Why? Sure, my screen resolution is 1024x768, but I never run the browser full screen (I'd bet 99% of people don't), so forcing me to view a page that only looks good at 1024x768 when my window size is closer to 800x600 just annoys me (I've seen a few sites like that; left immediatly even though they were good sites). If I have the choice, I'll pick the one I think is closest to my current window size. I've seen several sites that do this. Much better. Another reason not to do this is all the extra work in maintaining all the different versions of pages/images etc. Better to spend the time writing PHP code. :) - Darryl -- Darryl Friesen, B.Sc., Programmer/Analyst[EMAIL PROTECTED] Education & Research Technology Services, http://gollum.usask.ca/ Department of Computing Services, University of Saskatchewan -- "Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes" -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
