Detect Javascript with PHP

Anon

To detect if the browser is Javascript capable

Thank you in advance 🙂

Anon

there is a library around I think it's called promithesis, which detects all this...you might need to do a search around some of the php sites like this one and weberdev, etc.

If you know a bit of javascript you could do this:

create a link on your first page that the user must click.

Before the link is clicked, have javascript add something to the query string, like
?js=true
or some such thing.

then, if the js variable gets returned to the php parser, you'll know that they have javascript turned on.

I don't think that php can initally tell if the user has javascript turned on. You'd have to get some sort of feedback from the client for that, in the manner I've described. Or I could be wrong about that, and I'd like to hear about it.

Thx guyz here is an update

Browser & Javascript Detection, go to
and do a search/browse on 'Browser Detection'

http://www.phpclasses.UpperDesign.com/

you should get a class called PHPClientSniffer..... EXCELLENT class

Anon

could not find the class. Does anybody have the class and email it to me?

this class only checks to see if your browser is capable of executing javascript by using a set of hardcoded conditions based on the browser version in the HTTP_USER_AGENT value

as far as i can tell, it does not detect whether or not you actually have javascript enabled
