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

Is there a way to do this with PHP? I couldn't find it in the online
docs and the archive search is offline :(
thanks!
