Is there a way to get the screen size through php? I have had a look on google, and found a way of doing it through javascript as follows:
PHP :
<?php
$width = "<script>sw=screen.width;</script>";
$height = "<script>sh=screen.height;</script>";
echo "Width: ".$width." Height: ".$height;
?>
But this doesn't store anything in $width or $height. is this a good way of going about doing it? or is there another way?
You can't do that this way, here is a way to do it :
<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_POST['width'])){
$_SESSION['screen_size'] = array();
$_SESSION['screen_size']['width'] = intval($_POST['width']);
$_SESSION['screen_size']['height'] = intval($_POST['height']);
}
if(!isset($_SESSION['screen_size'])){
?>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function getSize(){
document.getElementById('inp_width').value=screen.width;
document.getElementById('inp_height').value=screen.height;
document.getElementById('form_size').submit();
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload='getSize()'>
<form method='post' id='form_size'>
<input type='hidden' name='width' id='inp_width'/>
<input type='hidden' name='height' id='inp_height'/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
}else{
var_dump($_SESSION['screen_size']);
}
This is a simple way, and the page will reload the first time.
You may want to use AJAX.
Also, if someone refuses sessions cookies, this would loop forever, better test if the browser accepts cookies.
You cannot get browser width by only using php. PHP is server code.
Try to look at this. You can use ajax to send (post) browser width in your php code.
Hope it helps.
