I tend to avoid JavaScript when I can but one thing I've done in the
past is to have the PHP routine as the default with a JavaScript check
in a site-wide include file. You can then keep track of that
information in a cookie or a session. I keep the PHP routine as the
default in case the user enters the site on a page where form
verification (or whatever you're using JavaScript for) is necessary
before I know if I can use the JS or not.
if (!isset($_COOKIE['javascript'])) {
setcookie('javascript', javascriptTest(), $expire);
}
....
if ($_COOKIE['javascript'] == 'true') {
printJavascript();
} else {
PHProutine();
}
