To handle the users with javascript disabled , you can add something like this in your script -

<noscript>
  <input type="hidden" name="JavaScript" value="false" />
</noscript>

The parameter should only be submitted if the browser has scripts turned off.So on checking this you can do something like below -

<?php 
if(isset($_POST['JavaScript']) && $_POST['JavaScript'] !='')
{
echo "Turn on your javascript";
}

yeah i know about checking if javascript is disabled but what i was actually looking at is if we can do this without javascript...

not without the javascript, its a client side thing and need to handle with the client side scripting.

Love the tutorial. But I'm looking for a specific solution where php can get some certain pdf files from a folder that contains lot of pdf files and display them in a small thumbnail-like on a web page and click on a particular thumbnail would show the big pdf file on thesame web page. Please would really appreciate a solution to this. Thanks in advance

dont forget a 'get reader' link for those (was going to write too dumb but that would be uncharitable) who do not have browsers capable of reading pdf natively
