i believe it's possible with javascript, but it certainly isn't possible
with PHP.

"Screen resolution", in the context of a server-side app, means /absolute
nothing/, because the remote user agent might not even have a screen. For
example, wget/curl running via a cron job, or a web crawler (like google
bots).

Javascript has access to those details and you can set a cookie from
Javascript then collect it via PHP.
I cant remember all the details offhand, try alt.comp.lang.JavaScript or
just do a groups search on google.

As far as I remember you can read the browser maximum width but it doesn't
tell you about frame widths or if the browser is not shown full screen. The
info is in the DOM part so only works for 'recent' browsers.

Best of Luck,
