Php Tutorial Guide - How To Show Screen Resolution Find Display Script
Posted On Wed Nov 29, 2006 By leni In PHP Forums And Topics Discussions About Hyper Text Programming Language Forums
One way to find a user's screen resolution with php is with the $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS function.
This post tutorial guide will show you how to retrieve, get, show, display, find your weg page (site) visitors screen resolution.
NOTE: for this function to work, you will need to have PHP, if you don't have PHP on your website, we recommend our friends at www.webune.com for PHP hosting. check them out.
the first thing to do is to copy and past this sample code into your editor, you can use notepad it you like:
now save it as show-user-screen-resolution-php.php and upload it to your website.
after you have uploaded to your website, open the file with your browser (example: yourdomain.com/show-user-screen-resolution-php.php)
after you have opened it, you will see your own screen resolution display on the screen.
Our friends at www.webune.com have provided us with free hosting to demonstrate how this script works.
NOTE: you will require to be hosted on a site that has PHP. If you need PHP web hosting, www.webune.com has great PHP packages available, I recommend them cuz i am very happy with them than from my previous web host provider.

how to find the resolution is understood but problem is how to set my form resolution to resolution of the computer on which it is running

close, but no cigar.
this claims to be a "way to find a user's screen resolution with php," but is actually a way to find a user's screen resolution with javascript and pass it to php via a cookie.
the problem is, much of the time a developer would be looking to find out how to find a user's screen resolution with php, it's because he is trying to write something that will work for user's who keep javascript turned off for security reasons.
thus, since this proposed solution relies upon javascript, and not just php, it's of limited value in those situations.
