javascript detection with php

graziano

Hello ,

I have a problem . I need to write some line of php code to detect if the browser is able to run javascript . If it is not able to run javascript it should stop , exit(); , while if the browser is able to run javascript , the php script should must continue .

Any idea ?
Thanks a lot .

Hi,

maybe the function [FONT=courier new]get_browser()[/FONT] can help you, but it won't tell you if the browser has JavaScript activated, it will just tell what the browser is capable of.

Hello ,

thanks but it does't help me .

I am trying it

<HTML>
<HEAD>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<SCRIPT language="Javascript">
if (navigator.javaEnabled() == true) {
var javatest = "yes";
document.write(javatest,"<p>")
}
</SCRIPT>
<?php
echo $javatest;
?>
</body>
</HTML>

But echo $javatest; is returning nothing . Any idea ?

You cannot pass variables from javascript to PHP in this way.
...it's a little challenging...
I think you have to use an hidden field or something like that...

so there is absolute no way to redirect a user which is not using javascript using php ??

Hi,

because if somebody has JavaScript deactivated, he would just get a blank page.
