    Are you trying to just return the screen width? Right now you're trying to cast a string that's full of text into an integer in the example you've given... what are you expecting the integer output to be? Commented Apr 19, 2011 at 21:31
  • How can you get 1024 printing $width_s??? You can't mix server-side and client-side code this way. Commented Apr 19, 2011 at 21:32

    (int)"anything that doesn't start with a number" always evaluates to 0. What are you actually trying to accomplish? Getting the screen.width?? Commented Apr 19, 2011 at 21:33
  • but i get " $width_s" this value. If you don't believe, try my code :) Commented Apr 20, 2011 at 6:36

    This is one of the reasons why I ignored the php tag. (Not the question or the answers, but these comments.) Commented Apr 20, 2011 at 10:20

PHP is executed on the server side, while javascript is executed on the client side; if you want a value from javascript to be sent to PHP, you will need to write up some kind of script to pass the data, via AJAX, GET, etc.

edit: database != data

You can use the php function intval($string). Learn about it here.

The problem with your code is that its a string with characters that aren't numbers, so casting to int isn't possible. Intval returns only the numeric part of a given string.
