This is a serverside process This says the var $phpScreenWidth and the var $phpScreenHeight are to be strings. At this point they have no value associated with them.

This varaibles do *not* have any values. This is done on your server, *before* the page is given to the user... > > I know that this code is not working, it is just to see what I want to > > do. ASSUPTION: all 3 sections are on the same PHP page to be servered. Section #1 and #3 will be processed on the server *before* the page is given to the user. Section #2 will be processed on the clients browser *after* the page is given to the user. Your trying to clean the dinner dishes *before* you've set the table for dinner. It looks like you want to know the width and height of the clients browser window. And you want your PHP process to know this so it can do some magic. Well, first your going to have to serve up a page that retrieves that info, via JavaScript, places that info in 2 HIDDEN form objects, SUBMIT that info back to your PHP process and pull that data from the POST variables. *Then* you can do your magic in PHP with these values. Or, you can translate your magic into JavaScript and let JS do your magic on the clients browser. Does this help you?
