What limitations does PHP have in detecting user resolution?
PHP does not have built-in functions to detect the user's screen resolution directly. However, we can use JavaScript to get the screen resolution and pass it to PHP through a form submission or AJAX request. This way, PHP can access the resolution data and use it as needed.
// HTML form with JavaScript to get screen resolution and submit to PHP
<form id="resolutionForm" method="post" action="process_resolution.php">
<input type="hidden" name="screenWidth" id="screenWidth">
<input type="hidden" name="screenHeight" id="screenHeight">
</form>
<script>
document.getElementById('screenWidth').value = window.screen.width;
document.getElementById('screenHeight').value = window.screen.height;
document.getElementById('resolutionForm').submit();
</script>
