    Is there a way to send screen resolution (or fake it) with php?
    I know referer and everything can be faked, but don't know about screen resolution.

    Help! ;)

    You cannot read the screan resoltion of a client at runtime. The PHP code is processed on the server so you have no access to user settings at runtime (except referer and some other parts that are send by the browser with a request). However, you can read the users screen resoltion in javascript ;)

    Nah, I don't want to read, but send the fake resolution.

    That is not possible. There might be some firefox addons that you can use but this is not possible with php. If you want to hide your resolution you could simply turn off javascript in your browser.
