Re: PHP + Cookies + resolution + redirection

For starters, I did a search on google for "detect screen resolution javascript js" and this was the first hit: http://www.zimmertech.com/tutorials_resdetect.html Good start eh? Then I did search for "set a cookie with javascript". There were plenty of hits, including: http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/reference/javascript_code_library/wm_cki e_lib/?tw=reference&category=forms_data Then go to the PHP manual and check out the cookie functions, and the $_COOKIE array (if PHP >= 4.1), and learn how to read cookie data (in this case, set by javascript). You may want to also look at sessions rather than cookies, and will want contingency planning for those without either JS or Cookies (what default do they get?).
