Ok i have created websites which use iframes, and if you create an iframe that fits 800 x 600 screen resolution, it looks small on higher resolutions because you give a particular iframe a size in pixels.
So i was wondering, is there a way, using php, to find out the screen resolution a user is using??
if so i want to do the following.
if the screen resolution is equal, or less that 800 x 600 resolution, then goto http://www.thedigitaldream.co.uk/lowres/ else, goto http://www.thedigitaldream.co.uk/highres/
if you can do this, can someone please give me the code.
Thanx so much in advance.

Nope you would have to do this in JavaScript.
I've never come across a method of doing this in PHP (that is not to say that it isn't possible though!)

It's not possible with PHP. As PHP processes the information before the page gets rendered by the browser (or even sent).

You could always size your iframes with percentages instead of pixels.

Or use CSS and have it dynamcially resize, sort of like this:

You can us Java for that;
Insert this in Head tags;
<script>
var winlength = screen.width;
function CheckSize();
{
if ( winlength =< 800 ) { window.location="http://www.thedigitaldream.co.uk/lowres/"; }
else { window.location="http://www.thedigitaldream.co.uk/hires/"; }
}
</script>
and insert it to Body tag like this;
<body bgcolor=#000000 onload="CheckSize();">
I think that can solve the problem.

<script language="JavaScript">
var mattwidth = window.screen.width;
var mattheight = window.screen.height
document.write(mattwidth)
document.write("x")
document.write(mattheight)
</script>
