I used to know a method in JS, but I think that was browser dependant. Flash can do it, but then if you haven't got it installed it tips up. Can PHP do it? Had a look on php.net, but no help so far.

Monitor. Doesn't matter now, I decided against what I was going to do.

The only Server Side scripting I know of that can do this is JSP. Your only option is to use javascript or vbscript.
One question, are you trying to get the "monitor" resolution or "what the browser is doing" size?

What phil said is correct. PHP is server-side so it cannot directly access client-side information such as screen-resolution. Some information is passed to the server, such as IP address and referring URI, but not screen-res. You need a client-side script such as JavaScript.

This is something that couldn't be done with PHP alone I'm afraid, unless screen resolutions are passed through when the browser makes a page request, which I'm prety sure it doesn't.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but PHP is server side so it won't be able to determine any stuff like that by itself. The info would have to be sent to the server for processing first and the only way to get the info would be JS...
Javascript can detect stuff off of the browser and (eg) provide a real time clock from your PC, PHP can only print the time of the clock off of the server if you see what I mean...
You'll need something browser based to determine it, or maybe a mixture of PHP and Javascript.
