is there a way to check for javascript browser support with php?

is there a way to check for javascript browser support with php? - anyone know if or how??

I'm trying to use a DOM scripted text display (click over a list of options on one side and the texts appear next to the list constantly replacing one another) but I want to use unobtrusive js so I'd like to test for support before I include or produce the objects and call the js file. of course dont I need js to check for js support and if its not there I'd store it in a variable for php which would never get to php because it cant be produced cuz js isnt supported...

So, is there a way to use php, like maybe the request array, or something else???

I dont want to leave anybody with an ancient browser out (or those who keep js off) but I REALLY dont wanna go with anchor tags, any help appreciated...

thanks

There is no way.Because PHP is a server-side script language,so it can do nothing about client.

Well techincally there is a way, but you would have to use JavaScript and PHP together. For example, make it so that the home page redirects the user (with JavaScript) to another page. So make the default home page the non-JS one, then redirect to the JS one for those who have it on. That's what I usually do. =]
