Edit: Did a quick Google and it doesn't appear possible without JS :(

I know you can get some details from the browser inside PHP, without using Javascript...

But is there a way to retreive screen resolution??? Without using Javascript or similar hack?

Cheers :)

No.
Install a local proxy (ala proxomitron) and inspect the headers coming from your browser. That's what you can get with PHP without JS.

All I have to say is try to completely avoid browser sniffing except for stat tracking. It will cause you more troubles and your clients more troubles than it is worth otherwise.
