RE: [PHP] Getting users monitor size
Currently, I'm developing a site that makes full use of a 1024 x 768 display
since 90% of my users have that config.
In the off chance they have a smaller display, I have this in the header of
my HTML template:
SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript
var smallver = {SCREEN_SIZE};
if(!smallver screen.width 1000)
self.location.replace({RESIZED_SMALL});
else if(smallver screen.width 1000)
self.location.replace({RESIZED_LARGE});
/SCRIPT
Where:
'SCREEN_SIZE' = $sessiondata['session_small'] ? 1 : 0,
'RESIZED_SMALL' = $PHP_SELF.?resize=1.$QUERY_STRING,
'RESIZED_LARGE' = $PHP_SELF.?resize=0.$QUERY_STRING
What all this means is that I store a Boolean variable in a sessions table
for 'session_small'. In the php header of each page, I simply look at that
variable to decide how to draw the page.
The JavaScript is necessary since only client-side scripting can pick up
that value for you automatically. If it sees that the screen size is set to
normal (large) and the display won't allow it, it runs the page again with
'resize=1' in the query string to allow the change of the variable in the
sessions table. Alternatively, if the 'session_small' variable true and the
display will allow more, the page is reloaded with the correct value in the
table.
Hope this helps,
Mark

RE: [PHP] Getting users monitor size
He asked about detecting monitor size, not screen resolution. I don't
think any javascript will ever be able to do this.
